Our Commitment to You

Plastic surgery is about more than altering your physical attributes; it is about transforming the way you see yourself and the feelings you have when you look in the mirror. Too many plastic surgery practices see cosmetic procedures as transactional events. Dr. Chalekson firmly believes that plastic surgery is a journey that should be taken only with a board-certified plastic surgeon you trust—not only someone you trust to deliver outstanding results, but an ethical partner on your journey who you can trust to take a personal investment in your successful outcome and well-being.

Dr. Chalekson does not measure success by the number of surgeries he performs each year, but by the satisfaction of his patients and the quality of their results. He is committed to treating you as a person, not just a collection of symptoms and problem areas. When you visit our state-of-the-art facility, you will receive the highest levels of quality, service, honesty, and compassion. This is our commitment to you.

Giving Back

Dr. Chalekson’s commitment to service extends beyond the walls of his practice. In addition to improving the lives of his patients, Dr. Chalekson is passionate about enriching the lives of young students. He has personally organized several successful community fundraisers, featuring live music and comedy, to raise money for local public schools. As a lifelong musician himself, Dr. Chalekson is proud to help younger generations through music, laughter, and community celebration.
