Patients should not have to feel anxious about asking financial questions. Aesthetic surgery should be a positive confidence-building experience, and one should be comfortable about the financial aspects of the experience. Please ask questions of our office staff. They are extremely willing to assist you in any way possible to relieve your anxiety about your surgery, as well as to assist you in obtaining financial assistance should you need it.

FEES: Dr. Powers does not publish her fee schedule on the web, but approximate surgical fees can be obtained over the phone. There is a consultation fee at your initial consultation, which will be applied towards the surgical fee should you decide to have surgery. In addition, a surgery fee quote will be provided to you at the conclusion of the consultation if she feels you would benefit from a procedure.

SURGICAL DEPOSIT: Once you have decided to proceed with scheduling surgery, we collect 25% surgery deposit of the total fee, which is used to hold your place on the surgery schedule. This is deducted from your surgical fee and is not in addition to the fee. This can be paid in any number of ways but must be received at the time of scheduling in order to reserve the date and time for you. Until the surgical deposit is received, the time you request will be open on a first-come first-serve basis.

PAYMENT POLICY: The balance of the surgical fee is due in full at the time of the preoperative visit, which is usually scheduled one to two weeks prior to the actual surgery date. Your fee will be that quoted to you at the time of consultation, less the surgical deposit and consultation fee previously paid. We accept only the following forms of payment: (1) cash, (2) cashiers' checks, (3) Visa, (4) Master Card, (5) American Express, and (6) Discover. Credit card payments may be given over the telephone as long as identification is verified. When using a credit card of someone other than the patient, the individual must present themselves with a photo I.D. and sign the credit card receipt or as arranged with the cosmetic consultant.

FINANCING YOUR SURGERY
You may wish to finance your surgery if you do not plan to pay the full amount in cash/check or by credit card. You may wish to finance through your own bank or credit union. However, if you feel uncomfortable revealing to a bank officer why you need to borrow money, we can assist you with obtaining financial assistance.
