The center
Equal focus on the medicine and the human side.
Our 11,000 square foot facility includes clinical exam and consultation rooms, fully certified and accredited operating suites, laser treatments, and Annapolis’ premier medical spa — the best possible environment for surgical and nonsurgical care in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery and medical-grade skincare.
Every patient receives an extensive consultation with a comprehensive review of treatment options. We make sure no one feels rushed, we answer every question, and we are just as attentive to long-term follow-up care.
