Philosophy
Our staff understands that
aesthetic and reconstructive surgery can be a
valuable tool to enhance self-image. Physical
appearance — a significant part of self-image
— changes for everyone as we age and as we
are exposed to the environment and its
stresses; mothers experience physical change
with each pregnancy. Dr. Parva believes that a
patient should choose to improve quality of
life when seeking to restore or enhance
physical qualities through aesthetic surgery.
Our self-image, he feels encompasses spiritual
values, attitudes and social relationships in
addition to physical appearance. Therefore, he
is committed to listening to you and to
understanding your desires and expectations. By
providing a compassionate, caring environment
in which a patient can explore options for
aesthetic surgery, Dr. Parva guides his
patients toward informed decisions, which, in
his experienced hands, will provide the best
possible outcome.
