Group practice

Bloom Facial Plastic & Aesthetic Surgery is a group practice: bloomfacialplastics.com lists 3 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. Julie Shtraks and Dr. Jason Bloom. The facelift and neck lift pages name Dr. Jason Bloom or Dr. Julie Shtraks as the surgeon and the practice keeps a separate facelift gallery for each; the practice also lists Dr. Liz Malphrus.
