The Body Beautiful Surgeon

Massachusetts cosmetic surgery expert, Richard A.

Dr. Moss provides very lengthy and complete consultations. Therefore it is in everyone’s (both patient and doctor) best interest that the patient is properly prepared for this consultation. Keep in mind that for most surgeries outside of cosmetic surgery, patients have already met with their primary care physician and discussed the proposed surgery or at least the potential need for surgery. The primary care physician to some extent has already assessed the patient as to whether she/he is appropriate for the surgery, before referring her/him to the surgeon. The Primary Care Physician (PCP) has often ordered all the necessary laboratory and radiological tests, before referring the patient to the surgeon.
