State-of-the-Art Facility

The single-story facility includes a private first-floor entrance and a private waiting area for families to provide privacy for our discerning clientele. TPSC is accredited by the Joint Commission for the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations ( JCAHO) and the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities (AAAASF.)

Fully Accredited

JCAHO is a national organization that accredits hospitals and surgery centers. TPSC is the only plastic surgery center in North Carolina that dually holds JCAHO accreditation and AAAASF certification. At the heart of the accreditation process is creating and maintaining a culture of patient safety sustained at the highest level between accreditation surveys. Both accrediting organizations require ongoing evaluation of the environment of care and compliance with accreditation standards. The credentials of all staff members and anesthesia providers must be verified and maintained.

Board-Certified MD Anesthesia Care

"One-on-one" MD anesthesia care, as in one anesthesiologist taking care of just one patient, rarely occurs in the inpatient hospital operating room or ambulatory surgery center environment. In those settings, a CRNA (clinical registered nurse anesthetist) is usually the primary anesthesia care provider, and one anesthesiologist will supervise multiple CRNAs working in multiple operating rooms. In many office-based cosmetic surgery centers, a CRNA is the sole anesthesia care provider, and no MD anesthesiologist is on site.

At The Plastic Surgery Center, you have the exclusive attention of a talented MD anesthesiologist who is experienced in office-based cosmetic plastic surgery. The MD anesthesiologists are part of the American Anesthesiology of North Carolina. They are highly skilled at providing patients with peace of mind and the most pleasant anesthesia experience possible. This includes doing our utmost to send patients home with a clear head, little to no pain, and without nausea or other potential post-anesthesia side effects. Their care for you will begin pre-operatively, continue to the OR, and then the PACU until your vital signs no longer need monitoring.

Exceptional Patient Care

Privacy is a significant consideration for our local, national, and international patients. The Center is accustomed to seeing many high-profile patients before and after surgery. Private entrances and waiting areas create an environment where discerning patients avoid public spaces, lobbies, elevators, and parking areas. The TPSC team of medical professionals will provide you with exceptional care before and after surgery. You will feel safe and cared for by the friendly, well-trained nursing staff.
