Harlan Pollock, M.D., FACS

 
Comments from Dr. Harlan Pollock:

"In thirty-five years of surgical practice, I have continuously enjoyed a specialty that demands technical precision, surgical judgment, an understanding of psychology, while rewarding a sense of creativity. And as with all facets of medicine, but especially due to the elective nature of plastic surgery, our patients deserve a higher standard of medical ethics. These are the attributes that I strive to achieve each day. However, my greatest pride is in Todd, my son and associate, as I observe his expertise, creativity, caring and ethics.

"Our practice has always been scientifically based and has added new technology and techniques only after these methods have been proven to be both safe and effective for our patients.

"Thru the years, I have seen new plastic surgery technologies and surgical fads marketed to consumers before they have been adequately researched only to be abandoned after yielding disappointing results.

"While I am in favor of any new procedure that is safe, effective, and has been shown to be an improvement over existing methods, I have been unwilling to adopt 'new' methods simply because they are in demand and profitable. My conservative approach has not let me or my patients down.

"Our practice emphasizes our patient’s dignity, safety, and satisfaction."
