Azul Beauty Podcast #323 (Dr. Flaharty, Surgery fat & laser, Deep Plane, Pat Surgery)

Welcome back to Look and Feel Your Best.

I'm Gina Birch with Dr. Patrick Flaharty, founder and medical director of the Azul Cosmetic Surgery and Medical Spas in Fort Myers, Naples, Bonita Springs, Cape Coral, and Sarasota.

Azulbeauty.com is the website.

You can look it up after our show.

Not now.

Pay attention.

No, just kidding.

You can do whatever you want.

But we're talking about surgery this morning, and last segment we were talking about how you've gone from just you to five doctors now under the umbrella.

And one of the other changes that we like to let people know about, which sets you apart from many things that set you apart, is the fact that you have your own surgical arts center just for Azul patients.

You don't share.

This is ours.

Right, right,

right.

Yeah, Zuhl Surgical Arts now, we've been open over three years now, and it's like a dream come true.

I've always been part of a surgical center for almost 20 years now in the community, which is a really nice surgical center, but there's a lot of doctors that are on the staff there, you know, maybe 20 doctors.

And so it has four operating rooms.

So it's, you know, it serves a lot of different purposes.

So it's not, you know, customized toward cosmetic surgery.

Although it's a very nice surgical center that worked well for many years, I always wanted to have a facility that would be just dedicated to cosmetic surgery.

And of course, now that we have several associates here, the demand for that OR time is greater.

And And so we built out Azul Surgical Arts, you know, took us over a year to build it out.

So we started maybe five years ago and then, you know, finished it in September of, let me see, it's 26, 23, I guess.

And we're open and running and it's fantastic.

It's right here in the same complex as our Fort Myers office, which is at Parker Comm and just off Daniels in South Fort Myers.
