Rigo J. Mendoza, MD
Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Rigo J Mendoza, MD specializes in awake surgery. Dr. Mendoza has performed over 8,000 procedures on patients while they are awake. It is Dr. Mendoza's experience that patients recover more quickly if they do not have to undergo general anesthesia. This also reduces risks during surgery associated with general anesthesia. It allows for a faster post operative recovery.
Schedule A Consultation
Meet Dr. Rigo Mendoza
I take great care in making sure the patient is well informed about the procedure that they are considering, including reviewing alternative treatments. I believe that it is important to present the possible risks of all procedures so that the patient can make an informed decision. If a patient is well informed, I have found they are more satisfied with their results because they understood their procedure and expectations. I am board certified in plastic surgery and have undergone extensive training in plastic, cosmetic, reconstructive and hand surgery. I extended my training by two years to receive fellowships in hand/microvascular surgery and burns. I also trained at Manhatten Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital in New York, one of the busiest cosmetic surgery hospitals in the world. I have been featured on the popular TLC program "A Personal Story." One of my patients is featured on the web site for the American Society of Plastic Surgeons® and is part of their national print ad campaign.
Your Consultation
Dr. Mendoza and his staff are committed to maintaining a warm and professional atmosphere. All consultations are with Dr. Mendoza for as much time as our patient needs. We believe in the quality of patient care, not the quantity of patients through our doors. We believe our patients should meet solely with the doctor because he will be the one accomplishing what they need. Many surgeons will have you spend the majority of your consultation with a patient coordinator or a nurse.
