Why Choose Dr. Toledo
While Dr. Toledo’s qualifications and experience as a plastic surgeon are extensive, successful cosmetic plastic surgery requires far more than technical skills. The time Dr. Toledo spends with you personally before any procedure is performed will be as important as the procedure itself. He will thoroughly cover your questions, your expectations, and your individual desires and wishes, as well as maintain your privacy with sensitivity and understanding. After this initial consultation, you should feel completely comfortable with your decision, having developed a trusting patient/doctor relationship.
Choosing a surgical procedure and the right doctor is a personal decision not to be taken lightly. You, as the patient, and Dr. Toledo must weigh not only the physical considerations but the emotional and psychological ones as well. By improving your appearance, cosmetic surgery can enhance your emotional health and improve your self-esteem. However, this can be attained only if your expectations are realistic. By understanding the limitations of plastic surgery, together you and Dr. Toledo will establish reasonable goals that can be predictably achieved.
“Your plastic surgeon should be a rare combination of artist, scientist, and close friend. I am fully dedicated to the pursuit of perfection in changing my patients’ undesirable traits subtly to achieve a natural appearance rather than an extreme, artificial or operated look. Only then can we collectively achieve the physical and emotional harmony that satisfies your expectations and justifies choosing me as your surgeon.” – Dr. George Toledo
