Group practice

CaloAesthetics Plastic Surgery Center is a group practice: caloaesthetics.com lists 4 surgeons. Different surgeons at the practice do different operations, so ask for the surgeon who does facelifts by name. The practice's facelift pages name Dr. M. Bradley Calobrace and Dr. Juan Quintero. The facelift page says facelifts are performed by Dr. Calobrace or Dr. Quintero, a patient review on the same page credits Dr. Alex Pong with a deep plane face and neck lift, and gallery cases are not labeled by surgeon.
