Philosophy & Practice Info

Practice Philosophy

For the past thirty years, Dr. Gold has dedicated himself to the goal of providing unsurpassed excellence and artistry in Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. To achieve the best results for his patients, he creatively utilizes all of the "traditional" as well as the "newest" and most innovative techniques and procedures, but always with his patient’s safety and best results in mind. With plastic surgery constantly in the media and with other surgeons and companies aggressively promoting themselves, their techniques or their products to the public, Dr. Gold carefully evaluates those claims to determine for his patients what may be real and beneficial for them and what is just advertising "hype". With an artist's eye, his procedures are always skillfully tailored to the unique needs and desires of the individual, in order to produce both a "natural" and elegant result while maintaining the desired individual "look" and character of the patient. To that end, you can be assured that Dr. Gold performs each and every surgical procedure entirely himself, of course with the assistance of the Gold Ambulatory Surgery Center's experienced nursing staff and anesthesiologists, but with no other operating or assistant surgeon.

Surgical Facility

While the selection of your surgeon remains the single most important factor in determining the success of your surgery, Dr. Gold emphasizes that you must also be equally selective in choosing the facility in which your surgery will be performed. The Gold Ambulatory Surgery Center is located within our office and surgery suite. We are proud to say that it is fully accredited by The American Association for the Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities, Inc. (AAAASF). The primary mission of that organization since its establishment in 1980 has been to ensure the highest quality patient care in the ambulatory surgery setting. However, the vast majority of ambulatory surgery facilities remain unaccredited, operating independent of any peer review and inspection process. AAAASF is in the forefront of promoting mandatory state and national legislation to provide patients with safety and quality assurance in the outpatient surgery setting. The AAAASF accreditation guidelines have been widely recognized as the "gold standard" , providing the highest level of safety and quality in ambulatory surgical care. AAAASF rigorously inspects and evaluates each facility seeking accreditation to ensure that it meets those Standards. AAAASF-accredited facilities are continually monitored and improved through the analysis of individual facility performance compared to established standards. Today, with nearly 1000 such accredited member outpatient surgical facilities, the not-for-profit AAAASF is the largest accrediting organization of its kind in the world.

Dr. Gold's commitment to patient safety is further demonstrated by his serving on the AAAASF Board of Directors and by his selection as the current President of AAAASF.

Additionally, Dr. Gold emphasizes that the selection of your anesthesiologist is also a crucial factor in determining the safety, comfort, and ultimate success of your surgical experience. An excellent staff of experienced anesthesiologists, all of whom are physicians certified by the American Board of Anesthesia with particular expertise in ambulatory anesthesia, provide the anesthesia services in the Gold Ambulatory Surgery Center.

You can therefore be confident that if you choose to have your surgery performed in the Gold Ambulatory Surgery Center , you will be choosing a facility in which the highest levels of your safety and comfort are assured.
