Group practice

Plastic Surgery of Palm Beach is a group practice: plasticsurgerypb.com lists 3 surgeons. Different surgeons at the practice do different operations, so ask for the surgeon who does facelifts by name. The facelift pages describe the practice and do not name a surgeon. The facelift and neck lift pages refer to 'our surgeons' and name no surgeon, and facelift gallery cases are not attributed to a surgeon. Source
