    Presenting today’s episode titled, “Hiring, Training and Paying a Great Coordinator — with Catherine Maley, MBA.” Obviously, a great patient coordinator is an indispensable asset to your practice. Furthermore, the right one enhances the patient experience, increases conversion rates, optimizes the surgeon’s time, drives practice growth, and builds long-term patient relationships.
    Additionally, in this highly competitive field of plastic surgery, the difference between a thriving practice and one that struggles, often comes down to the effectiveness of the patient coordinator and their skill in representing you as the best choice, because they can significantly influence a patient’s decision to move forward with surgery.


































































































































































































































































































































    In short, it’s vital you invest in hiring, training, and adequately compensating a patient coordinator so they keep your surgical schedule filled.
    Also, if you need help training and managing your coordinator to take it to the next level, let’s talk. To be sure, I have been training coordinators for decades and will turn your coordinator into a revenue-producing rock star using my proprietary Converting Academy.

Furthermore, they also are held accountable for their results and actions and they get 1-on-1 coaching with me personally to ensure they represent your practice with excellence.

    Hello, and welcome to Beauty and the Biz where we'll talk about going from having a med spa to a 50K square ft mansion. To be sure, we'll also discuss the business and marketing side of plastic surgery, in general.
    As always, I’m your host, Catherine Maley, author of “Your Aesthetic Practice – What your patients are saying”. Also, I'm a consultant to plastic surgeons, to get them more patients and more profits.
    Presenting today’s episode titled, “Med Spa to 50K Square Ft Mansion — with Hani Sinno, MD, CM, MEng, FRCSC, FACS.” Imagine dedicating 15 years of your life to becoming a top-tier plastic surgeon, only to work for the Canadian public healthcare system to experience grueling hours, driving 1.5 hours to serve four different hospitals from 7 AM to 10 PM, including weekends.
    Of course, that leads to burn out, disillusionment and an unhappy family life and stirs up the desire for change.


































































































































































































































































































































    Specifically, this is Dr. Hani Sinno’s story. Indeed, he’s a board-certified plastic surgeon, with a residency at McGill University and further studies at Harvard. Later, he then returned to Montreal to train new surgeons at McGill University.
    Notably, his breakthrough came when a colleague with a thriving medispa in Quebec called Victoria Park, offered Dr. Sinno the chance to help expand by opening a second location.
    Furthermore, this wasn't just any location—it was a 50,000 square foot, 4-story mansion in downtown Montreal. Additionally, under his expertise, this new venture flourished, eventually expanding into 22 locations.
    To be sure, we talked about his shift from the Canada public healthcare system to private practice and he shared his innovative approach to learning the marketing and business side of aesthetics.
    In short, his dedication to learning not only drove massive growth but also earned him a partnership in the business.
    In summary, listen to Dr. Sinno’s story about the crooked path he took from the Middle East to Canada, then the US and back to Canada and how he has set himself up with a practice, life and kids he loves to spend time with.

    Hello, and welcome to Beauty and the Biz where we'll talk about the demand for non-SX vs SX increases. To be sure, we'll also discuss the business and marketing side of plastic surgery, in general.
    As always, I’m your host, Catherine Maley, author of “Your Aesthetic Practice – What your patients are saying”. Also, I'm a consultant to plastic surgeons, to get them more patients and more profits.
    Presenting today’s episode titled, “Demand for Non-SX vs SX Increases — with Kay Durairaj, MD.” Obviously, cosmetic patients have a growing desire for less invasive options with minimal downtime and comparable results to surgical interventions. In other words, they are opting for injectables, laser therapies, and advanced technologies that don’t require surgery.


















































































































































































































































































































    Specifically, my latest guest on Beauty and the Biz was Dr. Kay Durairaj — a facial plastic surgeon practicing in Pasadena CA for the past 20 years, who has adapted to this growing demand.
    Indeed, she is USC and UCLA -trained and Chairman of the Dept of Ear, Nose and Throut Surgery at Hunginton Memorial Hospital and serves as an advisor to multiple aesthetic industry companies such as Merz, Allergan, Evolus, Prollenium and Galderma.
    Furthermore, Dr. Kay saw the opportunity to diversify her practice and significantly ramped up her non-surgical efforts by catering to a much broader audience.
    Additionally, by offering a diversity of procedures that can be performed by her or several members of her staff, this has freed up her time to spend on other business ventures.
    To be sure, Dr. Kay is definitely thinking bigger!

    Hello, and welcome to Beauty and the Biz where we'll talk about the challenges of practicing in the city and suburbs. To be sure, we'll also discuss the business and marketing side of plastic surgery, in general.
    I’m your host, Catherine Maley, author of “Your Aesthetic Practice – What your patients are saying”. Also, I'm a consultant to plastic surgeons, to get them more patients and more profits.
    Presenting today’s episode titled, “Practicing in the City and Suburbs — with Anna Petropoulos, MD, FRCS.” Obviously, the choice between practicing in a city or in the suburbs can significantly impact your success and profitability.
    Furthermore, the city setting has more consumer demand; however, that also includes more supply of competitors so your overhead costs are also higher. Indeed, there is also a popular consumer belief you get better quality surgeons in the city.
    Specifically, the suburbs are often used as a "surgery feeder" to compel these consumers to have surgery in the surgeon's city office. Or, some surgeons set up shop in the suburbs to make their commute easier, work closer to home and pay less overhead, even though the demand might be as robust as the city.
    In other words, which is the best setting to give your practice the best chance for growth? Notably, the answer is always, "That depends...."


































































































































































































































































































    Specifically, in this episode of “Beauty and the Biz”, I interviewed Anna Petropoulos, MD — a Harvard-trained facial plastic surgeon and master injector with over 24 years of experience practicing in Boston.
    Chiefly, she talked about her unique perspective, and how she decided on both worlds, by practicing in Boston as well as the suburbs outside the city.
    Notably, topics we discussed included:
    Firstly, how patient trends and marketing strategies differ by location
    Secondly, why customer service is a priority and how it pays off
    Thirdly, has investing in 18 devices paid off and a lot more...

    Hello, and welcome to Beauty and the Biz where we'll talk about how to become patient-focused vs. ego-focused. To be sure, we'll also discuss the business and marketing side of plastic surgery, in general.
    Indeed, I’m your host, Catherine Maley, author of “Your Aesthetic Practice – What your patients are saying”. Also, I'm a consultant to plastic surgeons, to get them more patients and more profits.
    Presenting today’s episode titled, “Patient-Focused vs. Ego-Focused — with Jae Kim, MD.” Obviously, balancing patient-centered care with personal aspirations is a key challenge when building a young plastic surgery practice.
    Specifically, in this episode of the “Beauty and the Biz" podcast, I interviewed Dr. Jae Kim — a facial cosmetic surgeon based in Fairfax, VA, in private practice for the past 5 years. Moreover, he shared insights into navigating this delicate balance with some awesome tips that will work well in ANY practice.


















































































































































































































































































    Notably, Dr. Kim discussed the evolution of his practice towards patient empowerment, emphasizing the role of authenticity. Additionally, he shared a pearl that helped him in building meaningful connections with patients.
    In the same fashion, he's thinking differently and talked about the need to shed old mindsets and embrace a patient-focused approach. Also, he also created a "You Are Beautiful" brand with a unique twist on the branding.
    In particular, Dr. Kim also talked about the significance of setting boundaries and embracing a specific mindset in his practice. In the same way, he discussed his take on plastic surgery marketing, and included a big tip that helped him in reaching and engaging with new cosmetic patients.
