Surgery Center Earns High Rankings from Plastic Surgery Patients in Baltimore

    ANNAPOLIS, MD, December 09, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The largest plastic surgery practice in Maryland, Plastic Surgery Specialists, is proud to offer its patients a fully-accredited, on-site surgery center with high levels of safety and advanced equipment. Because the thought of going into the hospital can be distressing for many people, even if they are having an elective procedure, the women and men who visit Plastic Surgery Specialists (www.plasticsurgeryspec.com) for plastic surgery in Baltimore couldn't be happier with this outpatient facility.

"We are so pleased to be able to offer our patients a safe alternative to having surgery in a hospital," explains Dr. David H. Lowe."Our on-site surgery center is accredited by the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities (AAAASF), a national organization that sets standards to ensure the highest quality of care in surgery facilities. People who visit us for everything from face lifts to breast augmentation in Maryland have a comparable level of equipment, personnel, and safety with that available in a hospital setting."

Plastic Surgery Specialists boasts a 7,300 square-foot facility at 2448 Holly Avenue in Annapolis, Maryland that includes their medical offices and surgical center within the same complex. For added convenience, they have consultation offices in Severna Park, Easton, and Prince Frederick as well. Led by an experienced group of board-certified plastic surgeons, their surgical support team includes registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified registered nurse anesthetists who regularly work together as a team.

"On top of safety, our patients appreciate the human touch we are able to offer them," says Dr. Daniel Laughlin. "Because the majority of our procedures are elective, we want to make surgery as convenient as possible. Our patients don't have the wait times before surgery that commonly occur in hospitals and they rarely have to reschedule. We offer a comfortable, inviting setting and greater confidentiality which all enhance the overall experience."

All of the plastic surgeons at Plastic Surgery Specialists perform a wide range of cosmetic surgery procedures such as face lifts, breast enhancement, tummy tucks, and liposuction for the Baltimore area.

"Because we focus on a small set of procedures relative to those performed in a hospital, it is easier for us to keep up with technological advances," Dr. Christopher J. Spittler explains. "We have state-of-the-art, specialized equipment that enables us to achieve beautiful results while minimizing recovery time. The art of what we do comes in customizing these procedures to the diversity of the human body and individual aesthetic goals."

D. Paul Buhrer, MD continues, "Another advantage we offer is affordability. In a time when people are watching every dollar closely, performing procedures in our on-site center enables us to reduce some of the expense that goes along with a hospital. We remain focused on providing exceptional value for the people who choose our practice."

The plastic surgeons at Plastic Surgery Specialists (www.plasticsurgeryspec.com) offer a wide range of cosmetic and reconstructive surgery procedures. As the largest plastic surgery practice in Maryland, they offer patients the experience of four board-certified plastic surgeons: Christopher J. Spittler, MD, D. Paul Buhrer, MD, David H. Lowe, MD, and Daniel Laughlin, MD. The surgeons perform many procedures including face lifts, liposuction, and breast augmentation, and through the affiliated PSS MediSpa, offer non-surgical treatments such as BOTOX Cosmetic, chemical peels, and laser hair removal.
