Please note:
- Consultations are available Monday through Friday, depending on the schedule and request.
- There is a fee for aesthetic consultations; however, this is waived if surgery is scheduled.
- For reconstructive surgeries, the consultation fee will be sent to your insurance company.
- There is no time limit during consultations, or even follow-up visits, since each visit is very personal in nature.
- Patients are never rushed and are encouraged to take as much time as they need when discussing their problems, surgery, follow-up, etc.
- All consultations are done with the doctors themselves – there are no patient coordinators, aesthetic consultants, etc. that come between you and the doctors.
- For out of town patients, much of the consultation can be done via the internet, email, and phone.
- Surgery is performed in our in-office surgical suite, a day-surgery center, or a local hospital, depending on the health of the patient, the extent of the procedure, and the type of anesthesia required.
Dr. Pelletiere was recommended to me by a friend that got a breast augmentation from him a few years ago. I loved the way her breasts looked after the surgery and she highly recommended him. Scheduling a consultation was easy and quick and scheduling the procedure was even quicker. He were very clear on how to prepare for the surgery and what to do after also. Everything he told me in the consultation was true and I absolutely love my outcome.
Dr. Pelletiere was amazing. I have never had any prior plastic surgery and a friend referred me to his office. His staff and he were great and made me feel very comfortable. I gained over 100 lbs while pregnant with my daughter 12 years ago and although I was successful in losing the weight, I had a lot of excess skin left over. Dr. Pelletiere had a lot to work with and did an amazing job. For the first time in 12 years I felt comfortable in my own skin and confident. I had a full tummy tuck and breast augmentation. I couldn’t be happier with the results. Dr. Pelletiere was just as responsive post surgery as we was pre. He sincerely cares for his patients and listens carefully as to what they are looking for. I am grateful for what he has done for me!
Dr. Pelletiere did my breast augmentation, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience or the results. I interviewed four surgeons before choosing Dr. Pelletiere. I appreciated his professionalism, guidance and patience with my many questions. By the day of the surgery, I felt comfortable that I was in very capable hands. He understood what look I was going for and helped me choose a size and shape that was right for my petite, athletic frame. I love my new look and my only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner. If you’re considering Dr. Pelletiere for your surgery, I highly recommend him. You won’t be disappointed.
