CoolSculpting University!
So I’m officially a graduate of CoolSculpting University! Over the last 2 days I was in lovely Pleasanton, worldwide headquarters of Zeltiq, the makers of CoolSculpting for an in-depth review of all things CoolSculpting. From honing my assessment techniques of patients to the newest treatment of the outer thighs with the CoolSmooth applicator, it […]
Who Really Pays for Health Care?
Implementation of the Affordable Care Act has more or less come and gone. But it’s interesting, regardless of what side of the “for” or “against” fence you’re on, there are misconceptions about what changed in the health care landscape and what stayed the same.

The Plastic Surgeon’s Wife
In the past, most plastic surgeons, or for that matter, the wives of most doctors that were in private practice, had the role of being the office manager. This was natural because a medical practice was very personal, not corporate, and who best to keep an eye on the dollars flowing through the practice than […]
The Times, They are a Changin’: Medical Marketing
As I previously alluded to in this post, the way a doctor, particularly a plastic surgeon goes about medical marketing of his/her practice has changed so much. From no medical marketing at all, to print ads and social media, we are now entering a new era in physician marketing. Before, you marketed to consumers that weren’t […]
Diary of a CoolSculpting Patient
I had the pleasure of treating another CoolSculpting patient last Friday. Let’s say her initials are CS.
