Services
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances breast size and shape using implants or fat transfer. Ideal for patients seeking improved proportions or post-pregnancy restoration, this procedure addresses asymmetry and volume loss. Our approach prioritizes natural results with meticulous attention to implant placement and sizing.
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty refines nasal contours to improve facial harmony and function. Suitable for congenital defects, injury, or aesthetic goals, our technique ensures balanced, long-lasting outcomes. Dr. Pertsch emphasizes natural proportions while addressing breathing concerns when applicable.
Abdominoplasty
Abdominoplasty removes excess skin and tightens muscles for a flatter abdomen. Targeting post-weight-loss or post-pregnancy changes, this procedure combines contouring with functional improvement. Patients benefit from reduced discomfort and enhanced body confidence.
Facelift
Facelifts restore youthful contours by addressing sagging skin and wrinkles. Tailored to individual aging patterns, this surgery lifts deeper tissues for natural, enduring results. Ideal for those seeking to reverse visible signs of aging with minimal downtime.
Liposuction
Liposuction targets stubborn fat deposits to refine body shape. Effective for areas like the abdomen, thighs, and arms, this minimally invasive procedure complements a healthy lifestyle. Results are visible immediately, with continued improvement as swelling subsides.

I was not able to work when I met Dr Pertsch because my thumbs had so much pain. After he worked his magic on my left hand I had my right one fixed and it's amazing the result. No more pills and they rarely hurt, of corse things were different after but no pain I will take the very very minor restrictions. I also raced my car to my best finish ever in a big event and that takes hand strength. So if you read this it's worth it just remember to take the time it Took no time to feel the results but the rehab takes a little bit if you do it until it stops hurting and then the result is magnificent thanks for taking the time to read this.

Very fastidious even for a surgeon; Dr. Pertsch's dedication and concern felt genuine in the beginning and after 7 years I can say unequivocally that he is genuine. JJR

Report
Dr Pertsch is a perfectly fine surgeon however I strongly recommend you avoid his office unless you are independently wealthy and/or enjoy getting screwed over by an obnoxious billing department. My husband saw Dr. P for urgent surgery on his hand. I confirmed with my insurance and his office that Dr. P was in network for our plan. For the next 10 months I got nothing but fraudulent bills from his office.
I called my insurance company confirmed that it was in-network and they told me the amount of my co-payments. I sent those payments immediately. For months and months I continued to get bills for thousands more than the insurance company said we owed. I would call and tell them to resubmit the claims and they would refuse. The staff in the billing department seriously have no idea about how to treat people.
They seem to regularly confuse their patients with dogs because that is how they talk to people. It's insane. RUN, do not walk as far away from this office as you can unless you want to pay thousands of extra dollars for services.
