The modern plastic surgeon’s office has several key players. The receptionist and greeters make you feel comfortable, while subtly presenting beauty products while you wait for the surgeon. The surgeon meets with you and is professional, upfront, and honest about the surgery. You like the surgeon, but you are unsure if you are truly mentally and financially ready. You were just thinking, albeit seriously, about surgery, but you are not sure if today is the day. Whether you are ready or not, after the consult with the surgeon, you are shuffled to the back of the office where you meet the “closer.” The closer’s only job is to make sure you don’t leave the office without booking some sort of procedure and securing payment or financing for it. This is a high pressure situation and turns your positive interaction with the surgeon into a negative and you leave with a bad feeling about the whole process.
The surgeon doesn’t want to pressure you. He is just following the standard model to set up a practice. He is a doctor by nature, not a businessman. Most people are surprised to find out that in the 14 (minimum) years it takes to become a plastic surgeon, there is little to no business training. So the answer to the question proposed is simply, lack of a better alternative.
I would like to introduce a better way to do things; the online plastic surgery Pre-consultation by SurgeonHouseCall.com. The Pre-consultation does several important things for the prospective patient. The anonymous online consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon empowers the patient with knowledge of the exact procedure, a price estimate, and a personal note from the plastic surgeon. This allows the patient to become knowledgeable about the procedure in SurgeonHouseCall.com’s 3D plastic surgery video library. Also, knowledge of the price allows ample time to become financially ready. This turns the first in-person consultation with the plastic surgeon into a truly positive experience, and meeting with the “closer” is a simple formality without any surprises.
The plastic surgery Pre-consultation exclusively available on SurgeonHouseCall.com is easy to understand and perform. A brief profile is created by the patient similar to a profile on any online dating or social networking site. The profile is complete with optional pictures and detailed description of the area in question as well as a description of how obtaining plastic surgery will affect your life. All questions are geared towards wound healing and mental preparedness for plastic surgery so that the board certified plastic surgeon can make an accurate assessment. The consultation is completely anonymous and password protected, so that only the surgeon(s) you select can view your profile. Only when you are ready to schedule an in-person appointment is the surgeon able to view your contact information.
