Azul Beauty Podcast #316 (Dr. FLaharty, Surgery, Laser, Eyes, Deep Plane)

Yeah, you know, it is a difference maker.

And I was with a group, a group of us had started a surgical center, I guess that was 20 years ago.

And it was a nice surgical center, but it was like a multi-purpose center that did cataracts and some plastic surgery and a variety of different things.

And It was a good place for surgery, but it wasn't dedicated toward cosmetic.

And what we do is different.

Our patients... really demand and would like, you know, privacy, you know, very personalized touch compared to, you know, higher volume insurance type work, which you see a lot of the bigger surgical centers.

So, It's been a difference maker.

You know, we built it to be, you know, one of our private check-in rooms.

So when patients come in for procedures, they're in their own private room.

They're not out in a general waiting room.

You know, there is no waiting room.

It's just all private rooms.

And then they have their procedure.

They have recovery.

They go home.

And I just it was like a dream come true.

We opened and started operating.

It was I didn't realize how much more I would enjoy it.

Yeah, just by virtue of having control of the space and the flow and, you know, hiring the right people for each position and having a very stable group of really high level providers and nurses.

It definitely is a step above that.

a general surgical center.

You know, I mean, each surgical center may have its orientation and its goals and its purpose.

But, you know, for, you know, ours is comfort and safety is the key.

And it's both, you know, it's a very comfortable place to come and have surgery.

And it's comfortable for the staff and for me and the doctors, you know, Dr. Yee, Dr. Verrico to operate.
