"Incorporating aesthetic medicine into an OB/GYN office allows utilizationof the existing facility and patient base for the initial launch. This givespatients the opportunity to see a doctor they know and trust. Consequently,the gynecologist capitalizes on this established credibility by simplyextending the scope of service offered to many easily mastered aestheticprocedures," commented Dr Scott Kramer, an OB/GYN whose successful integrationof aesthetics resulted in the opening of a medical spa to supplement hisOB/GYN practice.
