Dr. Maas On the Importance of Patient Safety in Medical Aesthetics

The Maas Clinic and the Appearance Care Center are committed to providing safe and state-of-the-art care. Dr. Maas and his experienced team of healthcare professionals and support staff are equipped to provide the highest level of surgical and nonsurgical services, working closely with patients and their carers to ensure a positive experience. We are dedicated to realizing your aesthetic ideals while remaining true to our core values of safety, integrity, innovation and excellence.

Although aesthetic procedures are elective, they are still medicine, and the practice of medicine must be built on a strong foundation of maintaining and improving patient well-being. It is imperative that all professionals in the medical aesthetics industry practice patient safety right from the first contact.

As a leader in his field, Dr. Maas is frequently asked to share his expertise in media and at conferences. He recently spoke to Allergan about what it means to provide ethical care and ensure patient safety in a medical aesthetics practice. Read Dr. Maas’ interviews at the links below:
