Our well organized team
Dr. Ramirez's surgical team is composed of a Board Certified MD Anesthesiologist, Surgical Assistants who are doctors from South America and are Certified as Surgical Assistants, and Certified Scrub Techs.
Dr. Ramirez performs very technical operations and his team provides the necessary support.
Teamwork is not only at the time of surgery; but starts from the very first time you step into the office. Dr. Ramirez's staff is friendly and make sure that you are comfortable at every step of your procedure...from booking a consultation to your final checkup. As more and more people integrate plastic surgery into their lifestyles, it is not unusual for our patients to return for many procedures throughout their lives.
Convenience of a dedicated Surgi-Center
Enjoy the convenience of a fully accredited surgical center where your procedures are held on time. Naturally, the facilities include comprehensive recover suites so you will have excellent pre-operative, intraoperative and post-operative care. Also be reassured that the facility has transfer agreements with local hospitals should any patient require a transfer. The philosophy of the Elite Aesthetic Center is simple:
We believe that cosmetic surgery is an individual choice. It is about helping you to feel better about yourself. We provide a wide range of cosmetic surgery procedures to service your personal needs. We have several different medical providers that are skilled in different cosmetic surgery and plastic surgery procedures.
Our Goldilocks Philosophy
Not too little and not too much, Dr. Ramirez's Anesthesiologist is a Board Certified MD. There are a variety of anesthetics that are available from local, to twilight, to IV Sedation, and more. The exact kind will depend upon the patient's request and complexity of the procedure.
Patients are fond of saying that they went to sleep gently before their procedure and woke up with little or no side effects from the anesthesia administered.
Dr. Ramirez also makes sure that you are not going to be in any pain as a result of your surgery. Therefore he will prescribe the right amounts of painkiller for you as needed.
