Services
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances breast size and shape using implants or fat transfer. Ideal for patients seeking improved proportions or post-mastectomy reconstruction, this procedure offers customizable results. Our surgeons prioritize natural aesthetics and patient safety.
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose to improve symmetry, proportion, or function. Suitable for cosmetic or reconstructive needs, our approach balances artistic precision with structural integrity for harmonious facial results.
Botox Injections
Botox injections reduce fine lines and wrinkles by temporarily relaxing facial muscles. This non-surgical option targets areas like crows feet and forehead lines, delivering quick, subtle rejuvenation with no downtime.
Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck removes excess abdominal skin and tightens muscles. Ideal for post-pregnancy or weight-loss patients, this procedure creates a flatter, more toned midsection through precise surgical techniques.
HydraFacial MD
HydraFacial MD exfoliates and hydrates skin using vortex technology. This non-invasive treatment addresses texture, pigmentation, and congestion, leaving skin refreshed and glowing with immediate visible improvements.

Very welcoming front staff with a spacious and modern waiting area. Rooms are nice and clean with a pleasant aesthetic. The lighting is bright and even (but not abrasive) and the music is played at the perfect volume. My Hydrofacial created an awesome result. I can't wait to experience some other services they offer!

Simply excellent! Not only was he able to do a small procedure on extremely short notice, Dr. Schingo is highly skilled, courtly and readily put me at ease- having few medical interactions over the years. Cannot say enough good things about him and his very professional team as well.

Haven't had the surgery yet but so far the experience has been wonderful. They are professional, courteous, knowledgeable, organized, and walk you through every step. I've had such a good experience so far. Would definitely recommend. Stacy is amazing and knows so much about the insurances needs. I dont know what I wouldve done without her. Update: surgery complete and it went amazing. Dr. Schingo was wonderful and took such good care. He is a miracle worker when it comes to reductions. Highly highly recommend for your plastic surgery needs!

Unprofessional! The doctor was late, so the secretary called my 3 year old to inspect his scar herself then had a nurse come out to inspect his scar in the waiting area. I finally left without my child actually being seen by Dr. Fox. No patient should be examined in a waiting area. Would not recommend. EDIT: in response to the reply below: Unfortunately I was not extended the professional courtesy of communication that the doctor was running late.
I had to ask AFTER both the secretary and someone I presume to be a nurse examined my toddler in the waiting area and it became apparent to me they were trying to assess the significance of our appointment. The "nurse, " in fact, never even identified herself.
