Twice the Experience, Twice the Expertise, Singular Excellence

Welcome to the Plastic Surgery Specialists. We founded PSS on the belief that our new team exceeds the sum of its parts. With over 30 years of surgical experience, we share the technical expertise and the artistic vision necessary to achieve exceptional results. Combining our strengths allow us to provide you, our patients, the best care possible.

As pioneers in the exciting field of "Mommy Makeover" surgery, we work as a team to correct breast, tummy, and body contour problems in one procedure, with dramatic results. Or, while one of us is operating in our state of the art surgery center performing breast augmentation, the other can be consulting in our facial rejuvenation clinic, or assisting a postoperative patient. In other words, there is always a doctor available for you. Thus our motto, "Twice the experience, twice the expertise, singular excellence."

Testimonials


Testi "You have such a great bedside manner and that definitely made my recovery much easier than I had anticipated."


Testi "I was trying on some clothing at a store here in town and happened to notice this woman who had the most beauty breasts. As it turns out the owner of the store told me that Dr. Poulos performed her breast augmentation and "yes” her breasts are beautiful. I made the call and I am glad I did. He gave me exactly what I wanted."

Testi "After hearing Dr. Poulos’ name over and over again from other women, I decided to make a consultation with him. I have 2 children and had nice full breasts before and now later in life, I felt that I wanted to restore what I had lost. My first contact with the office over the phone was great! I got a lot of my little questions out of the way; and I was told what I would happen at my consultation.

After meeting with Dr. Poulos and his staff my decision was made. He honestly gave me his opinion and told me what would be the best procedures for me that would give me the fullness and rejuvenate my breasts. It has now been 5 years and I am so pleased. I would recommend Dr. Poulos to any one that is considering breast surgery. He is an artist that listens."

Testi "It took me 5 years to make my decision to have breast augmentation done. I had interviewed 5 different physicians and Dr. Poulos was the last physician that I interviewed. From the moment that I walked into the office I felt so comfortable with the staff and the organization of the office. The consultation room was very comfortable and inviting. Dr. Poulos explained the procedure to me and also discussed options for incision sites depending on my pre-operative breast size and shape.

At the examination, I was so well educated and I felt that he listened to what I wanted to achieve. He explained and created the best procedure for me.

In the end I had my surgery done 4 years ago and I would do it all over again. I am so pleased that I did my research and chose Dr. Poulos and his staff to care for me and give me the self-confidence that I had always wanted. My friends are so jealous."

Testi "Dear Dr. Poulos,

I am so thankful and so fortunate for your excellent and unparalleled skill and talent as a surgeon; but more so for your kindness, genuine caring of your patients, and wonderful sense of humor. You’ve made the experience and journey both exciting and rewarding."
K.C.
