Dr. Thors and his staff believe empowering each patient with knowledge and education helps them to determine their goals while providing a realistic way to accomplish them. Prospective plastic surgery patients come to Midwest Plastic Surgery Specialists because of the understanding that no detail is too unimportant to be overlooked. Former patients return for the same reason.

Knowing what to expect each step along the way is comforting and reassuring. Depending on the specific surgery, there are often many steps involved - your consultation, scheduling your surgery, then the procedure itself, followed by recovery and post-operative care.

One of Dr. Thors' focuses when consulting with his patients is acknowledging their individuality, while helping them accomplish their goals. Former patients and referring physicians appreciate how Dr. Thors and his staff closely listen to their patients, thereby providing excellent surgical results.
