Does Hospital affiliation matter?

Again, yes. Although operating in an office setting is not in and of itself inappropriate, it is always possible that an extended hospital observation or additional care might be needed. Indeed, certain procedures or multiple surgeries are usually best treated within the context of a full hospital facility. In addition, hospitals usually require certain standards (credentialing) such as board certification before a physician can have staff privileges. Unfortunately, there are no legal restrictions in most states that prevent physicians operating out of their offices or non hospital associated free-standing surgery suites; so be sure to ask if your doctor does have admitting privileges at a fully accredited hospital facility. If they don't, their ability to either transfer patients or provide continuity of care is potentially compromised. Dr. Kayser is a fully credentialed and active staff plastic surgeon at St. John Hospital and Medical Center, St. John Macomb Hospital and Bon Secour and Cottage Hospitals. Make sure your Michigan plastic surgeon has full hospital privileges as well.

Any other suggestions?

Needless to say, your decision in choosing a plastic surgeon can be a difficult and time consuming task making it even more important that you personally visit with the plastic surgeon that will perform your procedures. Evaluate their results (photos), office, staff, and testimonials and your feelings regarding your overall experience with their practice. You can often ask to speak to other patients who are willing to share their experiences with you.

Since certain aspects of the consultation and even visits after surgery can be vulnerable this can also become a relevant concern. Dr. Kayser is extremely sensitive to the needs of his female patients and every effort is made to ensure complete confidentiality, anonymity and comfort. Denise and Janet will also be able to relate to you on both a professional and personal level and answer any questions you may have. Prospective patients are even invited to visit separately with Denise before a formal consultation is even scheduled. Call the office at 586-776-3223 – you'll be glad you did.
