Overall

I had a wonderful experience having the dreaded colonoscopy at the surgery center. It was a breeze. This facility is top notch. The staff is friendly, proficient, and very personable. I would highly recommend it.

Medical Weight Loss
A person who has the same description as the above individual, but who also has loose skin above the belly button, and who has loosening of the muscles from pregnancy or massive weight loss (greater than 50 lbs), would be a candidate for a full tummy tuck.
Primary Care
Due to the potential functional impairment of heavy breasts, breast reduction may be considered a medically necessary procedure in which the insurance company may consider covering. You may check with your insurance carrier for your specific policy to make sure that breast reduction is not an excluded benefit. Many insurance companies will require that there is documentation of attempted non-operative therapy, such as physical therapy, chiropractic sessions, massages, pain medications, or a combination of the above treatment modalities, for at least 6 months from your primary care physician.

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
It is a FDA approved prescription topical medication that makes eyelashes thicker, longer, and darker. Bimatoprost is the drug name, and Latisse is the same formulation as Lumigan which is Allergan's eyedrops for glaucoma. Latisse however isn't used as eyedrops, it is topically applied to the upper eyelashes each night.
Laser Eye Surgery
Yes. You should especially tell your physician if you are being seen regarding eye pressure problems (such as glaucoma) or if you are having eye surgery. And also ask your eye physician if you have recent eye trauma. Latisse may lower your eye pressure.

Gynecology
Female Infertility
Obstetrics
I want to personally say thank you to the anonymous cadaver donor who allowed me to learn anatomy and dissection to a high degree. I hope I have put the knowledge you have imparted to me to good use. The Brown University doctors you have trained besides me are: Dr. Tammy Wu (Surgical Artistry Modesto Plastic Surgeon, my wife, and on the Board of Directors of the Cooperative of American Physicians in Los Angeles, CA), Dr. James Lin (Pediatric Critical Care Medicine at UCLA, Harvard residency and Harvard fellowships, best man at my wedding), and Dr. Serena Wu (Maternal Fetal Medicine, High Risk Obstetrics at the University of Nebraska Medical Center and tennis superstar). We were given your ultimate gift to study anatomy for several months and the knowledge continues to benefit others.
Pregnancy
Labor and Delivery
Femoral Hernias – Like the inguinal hernia, femoral hernias also appear in the groin area. These are common in women, but can also appear in men. These are usually the result of a pregnancy, or childbirth. A weakness in the lower groin allows the intestinal sac to drop into the femoral canal. Early repair is strongly advised for this type of hernia, as severe complications such as incarceration and strangulation are common.

Ultrasound
We moved to New Jersey, where my father commuted to Columbia University Medical School in NYC doing a fellowship in obstetrical ultrasound. My two brothers and I had a great time, because the States was so different, and everything seemed so much bigger and so much more abundant. People were so friendly too!
Chemotherapy
Acupuncture has been described to be an entire system of medicine. Books have been written about how to take care of every malady. In my humble experience, acupuncture does better with certain problems than others. The ailments with reasonably good responses are: back pain, neck pain, headache, pain from arthritis, myofascial pain, pain after surgery, post operative nausea, chemotherapy nausea, pregnancy related nausea, nerve compression related pain, gynecological pain, fertility issues, allergies, asthma, anxiety, stress, smoking addiction, and fine facial wrinkles (cosmetic acupuncture).

General Surgery
I was a Brown University Medical School Anatomy teaching assistant in 1995 when I was a second year medical student. Not a big deal, it was something I did to earn some extra money to help with medical school tuition. I was lucky enough to be selected to help out the next year's medical school anatomy class. I think there was about 6 teaching assistants from the previous class that stayed on to teach. I had even obtained an optional certificate to teach at Brown University. I think this made me more "marketable" when finding teaching assistant jobs (I also was a teaching assistant for a neuro-psychology lab - I ran one lab station and graded papers). With the anatomy assistant teaching of medical students, I walked around and helped with cadaver dissections and gave demonstrations of particular parts of the body. I had finished my anatomy class in 1994. But the teaching experience helped me continue my respect for anatomical knowledge in general surgery and acupuncture.
Sciatica
Reconstructive Surgery
In performing reconstructions of body parts, we first have to learn the “normal” and what “normal” looks like so that we may reconstruct the area that is missing, has been traumatized, or mutilated where the original form is no longer available or visible. For instance, in my previous article which described some of the procedures that I participated in as a medical student at Brown University, reconstruction requires careful attention to the fine details of the normal so that the appropriate form, function, and esthetics may be restored. This same close attention to detail is applied toward our cosmetic surgery training. Cosmetic surgery is essentially reconstructive surgery that has been taken a step further, with the goal of enhancing a body part to be as close as possible to ideal.

Eyelid Surgery
Liposuction
She is an athlete: As a runner, she has won many races (mostly 5k's) in her age group. She has run 4 marathons in the past, several 10K's and half marathons. With her interest in athletics, she is well qualified to discuss any changes or concerns in chest muscles function with breast augmentation, liposuction, or tummy tuck surgeries. Visit her popular website for running with breast implants - a runner's guide to choosing and maintaining breast implants. If you are interested in exercise, she understands.
Breast Augmentation
Breast Augmentation - many options available from different incision to different implants and different positioning (above or under the muscle)
Breast Reduction
Breast Reduction - breasts that are too large can cause back pain, other health and skin problems.
Breast Lift
In the Central Valley region of California, in Modesto, where our office is located, the cost of breast augmentation can range from $6500 or so to $11,000 or more for a breast augmentation with lift and possibly additional procedures to enhance the overall appearance. Please call our office at (209) 551-1888 and our office staff will be happy to assist you. See the previous link for even more details (includes pricing info on breast lift surgery).
Breast Reconstruction
I went on to watch more fascinating surgeries and the transformations that took place. The emotional healing that took place with the completion of breast reconstruction for a young woman diagnosed with breast cancer. The confidence that she exuded walking through the plastic surgeon’s office six weeks after all the surgeries were completed and the smile on her face that lighted the room. She was a completely different person than the one that I met on her first visit after the cancer surgery (mastectomy). I had not observed such diversity in any other specialties, and I thought, wow, I’d like to be able to be the one offering these services to people to help improve the quality of their lives.
Plastic Surgery
Dr. Tammy Wu, board certified plastic surgeon, has been practicing plastic surgery in Modesto, CA since 2003. She graduated from Ivy League Brown University Medical school in 1997 and graduated top of her medical school class. She continued her surgical training at the prestigious training grounds for plastic surgeons at Southern Illinois University (SIU) Integrated Plastic Surgery Program. Famed plastic surgeon, leader, and innovator, Dr. Elvin Zook was the chairman of the program at that time. To obtain this position, she turned down an offer from Stanford University. She felt that Southern Illinois University was a better fit for her own personality and plastic surgery future. In Modesto, CA, she was the second female plastic surgeon to ever operate. Dr. Mary Ann Piskun was the first and she had moved to Texas. They have met at national plastic surgical meetings we are grateful for her advice about Modesto.

She scored 99th percentile in the Plastic Surgery Educational Foundation In-Service exam in the years 2001, 2002, and 2003 during her plastic surgery training. Dr. Tammy Wu received her MD degree in 1997 and specializes in breast augmentation, tummy tuck, body contouring, "mommy makeover", and other plastic surgical procedures.
Moles
Cosmetic Surgery
As everyone is aware, any type of surgery, including cosmetic surgery, is not to be taken lightly. Therefore, when considering cosmetic surgery, one should take care to do research and make sure that your plastic surgeon has been properly trained by accredited surgical residencies specifically designed to give you the best possible results because they are well grounded in knowing the normal from the abnormal, and are able to reconstruct and enhance.
Dermabrasion
Microdermabrasion (sometimes called microderm) is a gentler form of dermabrasion. Both of these procedures rub away the outer layers of the skin and later allow the skin to renew itself. They both involve "sanding" of the skin to a smoother finish, but at different depths. We will be focusing the discussion of this article on microdermabrasion which is offered in our office.

Skin Cancer
Sunscreen is one of the most effective anti-aging skin care products available. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, the sun is responsible for 90% of the visible changes associated with skin aging. It is often overlooked because sunscreen doesn't seem exciting since it doesn't involve exotic ingredients from the ocean or enzymes from fetal cells. This article attempts to shed light on the complex world of sunscreens, discusses some safety concerns regarding some of the sunscreen ingredients, and offers our recommendations on what we consider the best combination of ingredients. We rank sunscreen above Botox when it comes to anti-aging efforts !
Acne Treatment
Lesions
I offer many services in order to transform and nourish the skin. Treatments include facials, microdermabrasion, ultrasonic facials, advanced chemical peels, acupressure massage, aromatherapy, full body and facial waxing, ear candling, electrotherapy, and make-up application. I continuously explore the newest and cutting edge trends in skincare and future services will include LED therapies, oxygen facials, and LHE light modalities to treat hyperpigmentation and Rosacea. I have a range of professional skincare products for purchase to ensure that the results achieved in the treatment room are maintained at home with a proper daily skincare regimen. I believe in providing the highest level of service and satisfaction, so to ensure the best results and comfort level, my equipment is superior in its quality. Microdermabrasions are performed with a crystal free diamond tip machine. It is equipped with multiple heads in order to treat the face and body, 2 ultrasound wands, an ultrasonic skin scraper for deep cleaning, and a hepa filter. For acne prone skin, I sometimes use a high frequency machine to shrink lesions and kill P Acne bacteria.
Chemical Peels
Results from peels and lasers come from similar mechanisms of skin resurfacing. There are many arguments regarding which is better because they both treat similar aspects of aging skin. The blue coloring of the Blue Peel helps the practitioner gauge the depth and consistency of the peel. Lasers have dials that increase/decrease the strength of the energy. At Surgical Artistry, we currently only have a vein laser. Thus our experience is greater with chemical peels for facial skin resurfacing. There are also so many different lasers and there are also so many different chemical peels. The comparison is difficult. There's also differences in pricing - yet another consideration. Lasers (and other energy based devices such as RF) usually cost more than chemical peels due to the cost of the equipment and maintenance.
Skin Care
Note from Dr. Calvin Lee: Nikki has her own skin care center called Skinnovations. Here, she kindly shares her expertise with Surgical Artistry.
Microdermabrasion
It's the gentle abrading away of the outer skin surface. Some microdermabrasion units use crystals and some are without. The one we use at our office is without crystals. It removes the top layer of skin and dead skin cells. Thus, it promotes the production of new cells from the dermis. It cleans out your pores and helps to prevent future breakouts of acne if used on a regular basis. Microderm is usually performed on the face and upper chest areas but any part of the body with skin can use microdermabrasion as well.
Burns

Physical Therapists

Physical Therapy
The top procedure that works for my patients using acupuncture is muscle related pain anywhere in the body - such as the back, neck, or even the bottom of the foot. The procedure involved in treating some of these muscle pains involves trigger point deactivation with the "Ah-Shi" technique of acupuncture which can be considered a small surgical procedure that uses the needle to gently break up the fibrous connective tissues. Patients are sometimes sore in the recovery phase of this procedure which usually lasts less than 24 hours - very similar to muscle soreness after an intense workout. After getting this procedure, patients report that even their massage, physical therapy, stretching and chiropractic sessions seem to work even better. As electricity is one of the languages of the human body, there is also a technique which applies a gentle electrical current directly into the tense muscle which can help them relax.
