Dr. DeLuca (www.drlouisdeluca.com) believes that excellence in plastic surgery is an artistic blend of both creativity and individuality. His approach to patient care is uniquely personal and his philosophy is simple…always listen to the patient. Dr. DeLuca notes that ‘far too often the surgical result is the surgeon’s vision, not the patient’s goal.’ During the consultation, patients are encouraged to participate in the development of their treatment plan and to ask the inquisitive questions that they often feel uncomfortable asking their surgeon. Patient expectations are always addressed and treatment options are tailored to the individual’s goals. His approach to surgery reflects his commitment to the whole individual. Plastic surgery is an art of both body and mind. Rejuvenation of the physical being inspires restoration of self image and self confidence. Dr DeLuca’s dedication to his patients is reflected in the mutual respect and trust of the doctor-patient relationship. Day or night, he is always available to his patients.
