I'm Dr Lloyd Krieger I'd like to welcome you to Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery show you around and introduce you to our approach to plastic surgery procedures. We've tried to create an environment that's both welcoming and reassuring well at the same time very sophisticated and elegant. As we go through this hallway or headed towards our exam rooms where we'll see you both before your procedure and follow-up and also towards our surgery center where we'll do your procedure. We have five exam rooms and we use different ones for pre-op appointments and different ones for follow-up - this is where we meet patients and consultation and get to know you and to understand what types of procedures you're interested in what types of issues you seek to address and what types of changes you want to make to your lifestyle once we get to know you and we do a thorough exam understand your medical history and goals then together we can come up with a plan for how plastic surgery might help you as we step this way we'll enter our surgery center and I'm extremely proud of what we've built here in terms of our surgery center it's up to the highest standards having been built to both Medicare and Triple H C certification meaning that our equipment the layout the training of our staff and our processes are inspected by the federal government and found to reach that high standard we are doing surgery here and there's nothing more important than safety so we've created the Beverly Hills Surgery Center and built it and maintain it to make safety our number one priority as we go this way you'll see where we actually do our procedures our operating room and this gives us the space to do any type of procedure that we would be interested in doing for you and it has the equipment that will allow us to do that smoothly and safely we do all of our procedures with an anesthesiologists another doctor who helps me take care of you so that I'm concentrating on the surgery and the anesthesiologist is concentrated along with me on your safety when your procedure is completed we'll need this operating room and we'll go to our recovery so the continuation of our surgery center in Beverly Hills is our recovery room where our nurses will take care of you following your procedure and I'm very proud of the nurses that we have here they're among the best that I've ever met and certainly but some of the best that I've ever worked with they will work to assure that you're safe and comfortable that the process following your procedure is smooth that we have good communication with your family or caregivers as you're ready to leave here in our surgery center both in the operating rooms in the recovery room it's designed to be up to the standards of safety of any Hospital so it's a bit of a contrast between the two parts of our office here it's about your safety and your comfort people often ask what is our approach to plastic surgery what is our philosophy I think it's about creating natural results creating changes that match your overall appearance and it goes even a little bit deeper we try to understand what sort of lifestyle changes you're looking to embrace by having plastic surgery and what are you looking for in terms of feeling better about yourself being able to do more and different things that you might not have done before once we understand that big picture of what you're looking to embrace and enhance about your lifestyle then we can get into specifics of which plastic surgery procedures might help you achieve those goals we look for a natural look that blends in and meshes with the rest of your overall appearance
