Yes, we can often combine medical and cosmetic services depending on which service interests you. Neurotoxins, fillers, and laser procedures can often be combined with medical visits while PRP for hair, micro-needling and sclerotherapy often require a separate appointment. We will bill your insurance for the medical portion of your visit while the cosmetic portion is paid at the time of service and is an out of pocket expense.

We accept most PPO plans and Medicare. Please check with your individual insurance company about coverage, as there are many insurance plans. You can easily check this information on-line before scheduling your appointment. Insurance plans accepted:

There are two ways to achieve the title of doctor and practice medicine in the United States. A physician can become a medical doctor (MD) or a doctor of osteopathic medicine (DO). The differences between an MD and a DO lie primarily in philosophy on how to practice medicine.

A doctor who is a DO tends to evaluate a person’s health in terms of viewing the body as a complex related network with an emphasis on prevention and wellness. Any disease affects the whole body. M.D.s and D.O.s train side by side in rotations and residencies in the same hospitals. They take the same exams before coming out as full-fledged doctors and both D.O. and M.D. physicians utilize scientifically-accepted methods of diagnosis and treatment. This includes the use of prescription drugs and surgery. Both types of physicians are licensed to practice in all areas of medicine in every state in America, and both are found in every specialty of medicine.

Item descriptionPhysician assistants are integral members of the health care team in many hospitals and clinical practices. The role of the physician assistant (PA) is to practice medicine under the direction and supervision of a licensed physician.

Working interdependently with physicians, PAs provide diagnostic and therapeutic patient care in virtually all medical specialties and settings. They take patient histories, perform physical examinations, order laboratory and diagnostic studies, prescribe medications, and develop patient treatment plans. Their job descriptions are as diverse as those of their supervising physicians, and include clinical practice, patient education, team leadership, medical education, health administration, and research.
