If I can do something special for someone that they can’t do for themselves, that’s what I should be doing.

Philosophy

Regarded in his community as an accomplished plastic surgeon with an artistic eye, Dr. Michael A. Horn helps his patients enhance their physical appearance with safe, effective cosmetic surgery techniques. Although many practitioners may be adding to their menu of services, Dr. Horn believes the secret to his success has been honing his skills in a limited number of procedures. “You cannot train for a triathlon only one day a week and expect good results,” says Dr. Horn. He and his highly skilled and caring team also help patients maintain their results with nonsurgical treatments at his full-service medspa, the Skin Care Institute for Face, Breast and Body.

About My Practice

In what ways are your staff members internal patient ambassadors?

All of my team members have already had plastic surgery, so I match patients due to have the same procedure with these internal ambassadors, giving patients a support network to call on if I am in surgery or if they just want to identify with a peer.

How do you show patients you care?

I call them at home before and after their surgeries. They always tell me how surprised they are, as many have never had doctors do this before.

In what ways are you and your staff patient minded?

We focus on convenience, availability, experience and support. Our facility is home to a thriving practice dedicated to the cosmetic enhancement of the face and body. We offer Saturday and evening hours to accommodate busy professionals and show respect for their schedules. I also choose to perform all surgeries myself rather than expand my practice and bring on another plastic surgeon. In turn, I receive more patient ambassadors willing to testify on behalf of their experience.

What sets my practice apart

What i can’t live without

My zest for life
The future of my field

We are seeing a surge in more noninvasive body contouring treatments like UltraShape® and VelaShape®; patients who are reasonably in shape will have more options to treat stubborn areas with no pain, no recovery, no downtime and no bruises
My patient care philosophy
