Description

Written by internationally renowned facial plastic surgeon and prolific author E. Gaylon McCollough, The Elite Facial Surgery Practice: Development and Management offers 40 years of wisdom, all in one remarkable book.

Much of the focus is on the enduring doctor/patient relationship, with discussion on how to attain and maintain patient confidence, deliver personalized post-operative care, and manage dissatisfied patients.
