Services
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
Tummy Tuck procedures remove excess skin and fat while tightening abdominal muscles for a smoother profile. Ideal for post-pregnancy or significant weight loss patients, this surgery enhances body proportions and self-confidence through customized surgical techniques.
Breast Augmentation
Breast Augmentation uses implants or fat transfer to increase breast size and improve symmetry. Our surgeons create tailored plans considering body type, implant options, and patient goals to achieve natural, balanced results with minimal scarring.
Botox
Botox injections temporarily relax facial muscles to reduce wrinkles and prevent new lines. Administered by certified professionals, this non-surgical treatment smooths crow's feet, forehead lines, and frown lines with quick, natural-looking results.
Liposuction
Smartlipo Triplex laser liposuction targets stubborn fat deposits using advanced laser technology. This minimally invasive procedure contours areas like the abdomen, thighs, and neck while promoting skin tightening for improved body definition.
Facelift
Facelift surgery addresses sagging skin and deep creases to restore a youthful facial appearance. Techniques include SMAS tightening and fat grafting, with recovery support to ensure optimal healing and long-lasting, natural results.

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!

Report
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.
