Our office staff will make every effort to ensure that your visit to our practice is a pleasant, informative, and positive experience.
Initial office consultations are relaxed and are designed to allow time to get to know Dr. Carpenter. Our goal is for every patient to be totally informed about, and completely comfortable with, the procedures that are planned.
I am often asked why I pursued a career in Plastic Surgery. For me, the answer is easy. From early childhood on, I have been very active in both art and science. Drawing, painting, and sculpting have been very important parts of my life throughout the years. early schooling stimulated my interest in the science of anatomy physiology, and chemistry. These two compelling passions in my life actually complemented one another, leading eventually to medicine as a career choice, with Plastic Surgery as the obvious goal.
