Business Owner

We often hear the terms natural, alternative, and holistic and can’t imagine how they could relate to surgery, especially plastic surgery. In fact, their association is quite unique. But, not to Dr. Michelle Yagoda! She has been practicing an integrated approach – to beauty, aesthetics, ear, nose, throat, voice, and facial medicine – since 1995! This does not mean a bubbly fountain of river rocks in her reception area or general platitudes about «wellness.» For Dr. Yagoda, an integrative approach means taking the best of multiple disciplines and combining them to deliver patient care that’s greater than the sum of its parts.
