Our Mission At Allegany Plastic Surgery, we make every effort to go above and beyond patient expectations in both cosmetic and reconstructive endeavors. For maximize safety, comfort, and-- of course-- results, we take time to understand each patient's particular aesthetic and/or reconstructive needs. We not only offer exceptional medical and surgical care, but also provide a secure and comfortable atmosphere in which clients are urged to ask questions, give feedback, and share personal information and preferences. (Continual) Education and Experience We believe that excellence in plastic surgery is taken from both education and experience. This principle maintains that education, of course, is more than a diploma hanging on an office wall. Because the medical world is constantly advancing, surgical education is a living process, and we pride ourselves on our dedication to continual education. The skills Dr. Carpenter learned in his full eight years of plastic surgery training have been continually sharpened by more than 18 years of private practice experience, and he continues to develop himself about outbreaking surgical methods and modern medical equipment. As a practice, we are constantly learning about recently-developed techniques, equipment, and standards, so that we can provide you safer procedures with better outcomes. To solidify his many years of expertise, Dr. Carpenter possesses the most important qualification in plastic surgery: Board certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS). Uncompromising Safety Neither Dr. Carpenter nor his team sacrifices security or quality for speed or efficiency. The team at Allegany Plastic Surgery is devoted to the highest ethical standards of care, and to secure our patients and ourselves, we strictly maintain sterilization and safety standards to ensure constant patient protection. Our private surgicenter is AAAASF- and Medicare-certified, which means it has met the highest federal government standards of quality and patient security. A Personal Touch Our practice gives you the best of both worlds: state-of-the-art surgical services, all bundled up in the warmth of a small town. Dr. Carpenter works personally with his clients to fully understand each person's concerns and to give the best possible medical care. Each patient is provided with his or her full spectrum of procedural options and collaborates with our team to develop a personalized treatment plan that is specifically tailored to his or her needs and wishes. While we understand that some patients may feel uneasy about cosmetic or plastic surgery, we are certain that we provide a life-changing, life-affirming, and overall rejuvenating experience that revolves around you and everything you need.
