Gastonia, N.C., Feb. 21, 2007 – Harry Caulfield, M.D., FACS, has opened Carolinas Plastic Surgery Center, a full-spectrum plastic surgery center temporarily located at 760 North New Hope Road, Suite A. A new state-of-the-art facility, currently under construction, will open on Court Drive, located at the main entrance to Gaston Memorial Hospital in late spring of 2007.

Formerly a partner with Southeastern Plastic Surgery, Dr. Caulfield created Carolinas Plastic Surgery Center to ensure that patients have an enhanced personal relationship with their surgeon. “The ten years with Southeastern were extremely rewarding,” says Dr. Caulfield. “During that time, I learned that many patients feel the most important part of their plastic surgery experience was having individualized attention from their doctor. They want their physician to clearly understand their needs, concerns and goals. Carolinas Plastic Surgery Center will offer one on one doctor/patient time, a full array of plastic and reconstructive services, exceptional skincare, all in a beautiful new facility.” [more]

Until recently, there was little people could do other than re-apply deodorant throughout the day or change clothes frequently. Now we can paralyze those sweat glands for up to eight months at a time with newly FDA- approved Botox injections. [more]
