Get to know us
We started this company to save our patients time and money.
Many people have high deductibles from insurance carriers and emergency rooms have many unnecessary costs including wait time for a surgeon / specialist which can exceed hours… There has to be a better way…
By removing the middleman (ERs and insurance companies) we provide direct cost and time savings to you. We also provide our patients with a detailed account of the service provided so that you can submit to your insurance carrier.
When people get injured from knives, saws, glass, nails, or get scrapes from bike and scooter accidents, a specialist (plastic or general cosmetic surgeon) may be called to evaluate the wound. As plastic and general cosmetic surgeons, we specialize in wound care treatments to minimize scarring and maximize the success of a closed, healed wound.
As specialist in cuts, laceration, and other accidental injuries resulting in wounds, plastic and general cosmetic surgeons are called by the ER and even by our patients directly to evaluate them.
Update: COVID-19 Will forever change our world.
We will evaluate your injury and make a recommendations to keep you out of the Emergency Room and Hospital.
Stay out of ER’s
Why goto an Emergency Room when your wound can be cared for in the comfort of our private offices and our private operating rooms (a controlled and clean environment)?
- ERs may be crowded and full of sick patients, why risk your health and your families health?
- ERs may leave the suturing to the intern, to a PA, to an NP. Even the emergency room physician may not specialize in wound care.
- ERs may request for a specialist – a plastic or general cosmetic surgeon – to assist them. Wait times for a specialist can be greater than 6 hours.
- ERs may be scary for children.
- ERs bills may be 4 times higher than our direct prices.
- In addition to the ER bill, the specialist who comes to suture you may charge you separately

FAQ
Injuries happen. We are here to help. Speak with a surgeon immediately. Your initial telehealth service ($250) is available throughout all states and territories. However if further service is required our in person consult is ONLY available in New York City and Long Island.
Your surgeon will advise you on at home wound care options, have you meet them in our office/operating rooms for an in person evaluation, or possible send you for further evaluation to an emergency room (most small injuries are managed without they need to goto an ER).
The initial telehealth consultation fee to schedule your appointment is $250.
Should your surgeon recommend additional in-person evaluation and repair. We have designed a very simple price structure:
All insurance carriers handle reimbursement differently. Your surgeon may be out of network which, means they may not participate in your insurance carrier. If you have out of network benefits that is great! However, even if you don’t have out of network benefits, most insurance carriers understand emergencies should be covered. When treating emergencies, we will provide you with a detailed bill called a super bill. You can submit your super bill to your insurance carrier for possible reimbursement. There is no guarantee that the insurance company will reimburse you. Just ask for you super bill anytime.
Your surgeon will provide you with post care instructions and followup plans. Your surgeon will always be available via email for questions or concerns.
