About the practice: Our practice is focused on delivering high quality cosmetic surgery to our patients. We achieve this by having a thorough consultation with each and every patient. During this process, each patient has the opportunity to discuss their specific goals with Dr Kapoor. Furthermore, they will meet with one of our patient coordinators who will answer any additional questions and provide information regarding scheduling surgery, assisting in financing if needed, and any special requests. Our practice is a boutique style practice and as such, we do not believe in trying to "squeeze" in as many patients as possible. This is the best way in which we can deliver highly personalized and quality care.
