Close, personal attention is given to each patient by Dr. Figueroa Cerpa and his highly trained staff, throughout all phases of treatment, including surgery, recovery, and follow-up periods.

Indivuduals considering cosmetic surgery should spend considerable time educating themselves about every aspec of surgical therapy.

A modest consultation fee, which can applied toward your surgery, is charged for your first visit. The consultation is with Dr. Orlando Figueroa Cerpa. Many clinics offer no-charge consultaion, but often this is with a non-physician. These counselors -or patient care coordinators- are usually well informed and should be able to give you good information, but they cannot substitute for the judgment of an experienced surgeon.

At the conclution of your consultation, a quote is given and is good for one year. Our quotes include all cost: anesthesia, facility charges, the services of our staff, and medication. Costs vary widely and depend upon the complexity of the operation, where the surgery takes place and which anesthesic is administered.

A deposit is requerid at the time the surgery is scheduled in order to hold a specific date for you. The balance is due at the time of your pre-operative appointment.

We have arranged a financing plan for our patients with an outside financial institution.

Cosmetic surgery is rarely covered by insurance. Many insurance policies, however, may pay for nasal surgery and the removal of injury-related scars. We will file your insurance paperwork to help you recieve all entitled reimbuesements. In selected cases, we will accept assignment of payment directly from your insurance company with pre-authorization.
