Our Mission Statement:
"Safe surgery, satisfied patients and absolute
confidentiality."
Safe: Should a general anesthetic be required for your particular procedure,
a board certified anesthesiologist will be present at all times to ensure your
utmost safety. All procedures are performed in a hospital affiliated surgery
center.
Satisfied: If we feel we cannot deliver the surgical results that a patient
expects, we are forthright with this information. Our goal is to make you
happy and to make your cosmetic plastic surgery experience a positive
one.
Confidentiality: Our staff fully understands the need for absolute
confidentiality; they respect this without exception.
Dr. Semlacher and his entire staff would like to make your surgical
experience as easy and comfortable as possible.
All of Dr. Semlacher's surgeries are performed in the hospital affiliated
Mercy San Juan Surgery Center which is conveniently located on the
ground floor of the same building as Dr. Semlacher's office.
The Mercy San Juan Surgery Center is located near Mercy San Juan
Hospital in Carmichael. The surgery center is committed to delivering the
same high level of care that is available at Mercy San Juan Hospital.
The surgery center only employs board -certified anesthesiologists and
operating room nurses. And it only grants privileges to board-certified
plastic surgeons like Dr. Semlacher who are qualified to perform plastic and
reconstructive surgical procedures.
Many of the procedures Dr. Semlacher performs are done on an outpatient
basis. This means that a hospital stay is not required and you can return
home the same day as your surgery.
Dr. Semlacher will contact you in the evening the same day as your
surgery to ensure that all is going well; he will see you the day after
your surgery in his office.
Services provided by Dr. Semlacher and his Staff include:
- Cosmetic surgery of the face and eyes; breast surgery,
liposuction and body sculpting surgery.
- Botox treatments.
- Computer patient imaging.
- Out of town accommodations and post-operative aftercare
arrangement coordination.
- Literature customized to each individual and their needs is
provided
after consultation.
Our office accepts Visa, MasterCard, Discover Cards
as well as insurance
where applicable. Financing is also available
On the day of your surgery, medications are administered for your comfort
during the surgical procedure. A general anesthetic may be administered,
so that you will be asleep during the entire procedure. A board-certified
anesthesiologist will administer you anesthetic and will be present at all
times to ensure utmost safety. When your surgery is completed, you will
be taken to a recovery area where you will be closely monitored. Small drain
tubes may have been placed to help avoid the accumulation of fluids.
Gauze or other dressings may also be used.
You may be permitted to go home after a few hours, unless you and Dr.
Semlacher have determined that you will stay in the hospital or surgical
facility overnight.
While making preparations, be sure to arrange for someone to drive you
home and to spend the first night after surgery. Also you will require
assistance the first few post-operative days. If you have young children
someone should most definitely assist you for the first week
post-operatively.
After your initial healing period, you will return to our office for a post-
operative follow-up visit so your progress can be evaluated. In the following
months, Dr. Semlacher will ask you to return for periodic checkups. It's
important to keep these appointments so that Dr. Semlacher can assess
your long-term results and address any questions or concerns you may
have.
