Our promise to you is to provide compassionate and comprehensive plastic surgical and dermatological care while maintaining the highest standards of results, communication, and efficiency. And as always to provide these services in a warm, friendly and nurturing environment for both patients and staff.

"My goal is to give you a natural, flowing result and not a mask-like appearance. You don’t want to look like you’ve had a cosmetic procedure. I spend a lot of time with my patients. I know that an honest exchange of information is the essential link between your desires and great results. The time and effort required to become double board-certified allows me to deliver uncompromising care to my patients." -Dr. Edward J. Ricciardelli, M.D.

Testimonials


Testi "Thank you for caring, I am blessed to have you in my life."


Testi "ICH DIEN, meaning, "I serve" and no more princely motto can be found. We cannot determine whether our faces shall be ugly, our bodies graceful or deformed, but the shaping of our life is n our own hands. We make that great or small, noble or mean, as we will. The motto "I serve", always betokens real power and lasting authority. Thank you and your staff for all your care. You are all awesome! I am hopeful this will change my life."
C.H.


Testi "I was a patient of Dr. Ricciardelli when he was a plastic surgeon at the University of Iowa in Iowa City. I have always been very grateful to him for the work he does and the amount of hope he gives women. But I also felt the tremendous loss when he had said he was leaving the hospital. My hope was gone and what a loss for women in this area. He had done incredible work on me and it was no easy task. If he recalls I am the difficult case he had to get his boards. He had done the trans flap to rebuild breast on the top of several other surgeries and scars. He had a lot of obstacles to overcome -- he didn't give up and had done a phenomenal job. Just wanted to let him know I still think of the amazing work he had done and how a lifelong gratefulness remains from a person that reinstates hope for women like Dr. Ricciardelli had me."

Testi "I am a 45 year old female with two children. I recently had breast augmentation done in July 2008. My down time was only one week. The staff was great! Everyone was so informative and supportive throughout the whole process. Dr. Ricciardelli was great! He called and checked on me personally twice after my surgery. His personality is wonderful. I wish I would have done this procedure long ago."
S.T.
