Office

Our office is located in the historic 450 Sutter Building near Union Square in San Francisco. Parking is conveniently located beneath the building. Our 26th (top) floor office has beautiful views of downtown San Francisco, the Bay and many landmarks including Alcatraz and Coit Tower. It is tastefully furnished to enhance your comfort and respect your privacy.

Your consultation with Dr Anthony is the beginning of what we hope will be a great long-term relationship with our practice. The consultation is designed to provide you with an opportunity to discuss all of your aesthetic goals and concerns and then, with the help of Dr Anthony, to formulate your own personal treatment plan.

During your consultation, Dr Anthony will first review your overall health and then listen to you talk about any specific areas of concern regarding your appearance. These areas are then examined. Following this, Dr Anthony will educate and inform you about your situation in short, why you are seeing what you are seeing. Next, Dr. Anthony will review the treatment options available and help you pick the optimal techniques to help you look your best. Dr Anthony will explain what to expect after each procedure so that you will have a realistic idea of your results and recovery.

You will then have an opportunity to meet with Ann, Dr Anthonys Patient Care Coordinator. Ann will show you before and after photos of the many patients who have given permission to view their photos. These photos will illustrate the long lasting, natural improvements that Dr Anthony can provide for you. Ann will also provide you with written information regarding your procedure and recovery.

Following your visit, our office will follow up with you to ensure that all questions have been answered. Dr. Anthony is always available to answer questions as well as to review, in person or via email or phone, your consultation and his recommendations. We hope that once you have had a consultation with Dr. Anthony, met our staff and seen first-hand the results possible with Dr Anthonys expertise that you too will join our thousands of patients who are now more pleased and confident with their appearance.

Testi Dr. Anthony is a super star and I can't tell you how many people have said to me what great hands I was in. From the nurse who did the EKG to the pre-registration people to the registration gal and the pre-op nurses at the hospital all these adjectives came up about Dr. Anthony: brilliant, talented, calm, kind, professional, amazing and sweet. I am totally serious, every time they (hospital staff) looked to see who my doctor was they made these wonderful comments. Wow.
