PSA Policies and Procedures
What is the cost for a cosmetic consultation?
We offer a 30 minute complimentary consultation with our patient care coordinator who has been working with Dr. Duncan for over 12 years. She is very familiar with all of our services so she can give you information on procedures you are interested in, show you before and after photos and be able to give you a ballpark cost.
If you decide that you want to meet with Dr. Duncan, her consultations average about 45 minutes with a cost of $75 that applies toward the cost of surgery. We do ask that when scheduling your consult you give a $25 deposit. If you need to cancel, give us a 24 hour notice and the deposit will be refunded to you. If after having your initial consultation you have more questions for Dr. Duncan before proceeding with surgery, there is no charge.
If I decide to proceed with surgery, what steps do I take?
After your consultation with Dr. Duncan you will provided an Estimate of Possible Services. This will break down the fees for your surgery and will give you an exact cost. If you decide to schedule surgery, you will be required to give us a $500 deposit and then pay your balance 3 weeks prior to surgery.
