For the past thirty years, Dr. Alan H. Gold has dedicated himself to the goal of providing unsurpassed excellence and artistry in Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. To achieve the best results for his patients, he creatively utilizes all of the "traditional" as well as the "newest" and most innovative techniques and procedures, but always with his patient’s safety and best results in mind. With plastic surgery constantly in the media and with other surgeons and companies aggressively promoting themselves, their techniques or their products to the public, Dr. Gold carefully evaluates those claims to determine for his patients what may be real and beneficial for them and what is just advertising "hype".

With an artist's eye, his procedures are always skillfully tailored to the unique needs and desires of the individual, in order to produce both a "natural" and elegant result while maintaining the desired individual "look" and character of the patient. To that end, you can be assured that Dr. Gold performs each and every surgical procedure entirely himself, of course with the assistance of the Gold Ambulatory Surgery Center's experienced nursing staff and anesthesiologists, but with no other operating or assistant surgeon.

Office

Many people choose aesthetic surgery to enhance a particular feature and give themselves added confidence in social or work situations, a psychological "boost", or to reduce the visible signs of aging and simply help them look as young as they feel. Improving a feature of your face or body will often enhance your self-image, and may have very positive effects in many areas of your life. Dr. Gold will carefully listen to your concerns and desires, recommend and explain in detail the best procedures to achieve those or what he feels are more appropriate or advisable results, and will carefully explain all of the risks and benefits of your alternatives. By educating you as fully as possible, he strives to provide you with both an understanding of your surgery and with realistic expectations, and to ensure that when you enter the operating room together that you both share the same vision of your surgical goals. He fully realizes and is ever mindful that his success is measured by your happiness.
