REPUTATION
I am proud of the fact that Peninsula Plastic Surgery Inc is the most established plastic surgery practice in the Bay Area having begun in 1956 by my two former partners. And through their example and tutelage, this well-known reputation for superlative care has successfully endured to today. And as mentioned before, instead of relying on my latest curated posts on social media to attract the next patient, I depend upon my latest publications in our specialty’s scientific journals and respected textbooks - in other words, a reputation that is based upon a peer-reviewed body of work rather than a page of titillating posts: A reputation spread by actual word of mouth rather than by anonymous online followers. As much as review sites can be misleading, having a preponderance of “better” reviews substantiates the authentic word-of-mouth nature of my practice. As the old tagline declared: “We build our practice the old-fashioned way, we earn our reputation, one patient at at time!”
