About Grady B. Core, MD, FACS

Introduction
Our practice philosophy is “results oriented” such that we strive to offer each patient the best possible outcome given their particular set of circumstances. Dr. Core’s long experience, exceptional training and diverse capabilities gives him a perspective and a skill set that is uncommon even among board certified plastic surgeons. As a teacher and requested speaker on the national and international level ,and inventor of many of his own techniques, patients have an opportunity, depending on which procedures they are seeking, to have their surgery performed by the surgeon who was one of the procedure’s original inventors such as the endoscopic brow lift.

We take exceptional time and care with each patient using one day of the week for consults only which are not hurried and highly individualized which also helps to protect our patients’ confidentially.

Surgical Facilities
We are proud to announce that Core Plastic Surgery’s on-site surgical center , designed and built by Dr. Core as a state of the art facility with two operating rooms, is certified by the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities (AAAASF), an organization that recognizes facilities that meet the gold standards of patient care and safety. To earn this certification, our surgery center met hundreds of criteria and passed an in-depth safety inspection. As one of the over 2,200 outpatient facilities accredited by the AAAASF, we can assure you that your well-being is our top priority and that we have the accommodations to back this up. The operating rooms themselves are equipped with laminar flow air exchange such that the entire air in the room is exchanged every few seconds exactly the same as is done in major hospitals ensuring optimum sterility of the operative environment . No other on-site plastic surgical operating room in the southeast is equipped with this feature. The facility is adjacent to the clinic with convenient back door access for post op patients such that they can be discharged in private after their procedure.

How Dr. Core goes beyond

We feel that the main reason patients seek out certain surgeons is because in the final analysis it is the end result that really matters. All the trappings that are used to attract patients have little to do with actually being a good surgeon and producing excellent results. We focus on results, period. That means taking the time necessary in the operating room, performing meticulous cutting edge procedures and seeing patients often after surgery to ensure they are healing well. This focus has helped Dr. Core develop a reputation for excellence that has built his extensive and busy practice over many years and ,when combined with his experience, patients can be assured of receiving the very best of what is available in the field of aesthetic surgery and medicine
