Expectations
Our goal is for you to be completely satisfied. No matter what procedure you choose, we will strive for the best result possible. Every surgical procedure, however, has inherent risks and potential complications. Possible complications include bleeding, infection, swelling, and poor wound healin,g which can lead to undesirable scarring. Occasionally, a minor touch-up is necessary. We are the first group in the area to enroll all our cosmetic surgery patients in CosmetAssure, an insurance program that protects against medical complications after surgery.
Your surgeon will discuss with you before surgery the potential complications and answer all of your questions completely. We do this not to alarm patients, but to ensure that our patients are accurately informed about the surgical procedure.

Outstanding physician and surgeon
Gina Racca
Gina is so lovely! I’ve been going to her for over a decade, she gives the best advice on how to take care of my skin. I’ve highly recommend her to my friends.
Miguel Dorante, M.D.
Dr Dorante was easy to talk to, easy to understand, patient with my questions, highly knowledgeable about the surgery I would need after Mohs surgery. This consultation lasted for quite a long time but he never rushed me or hurried though the discussion. Bedside manners were excellent. I feel very confident he will perform my surgery with utmost skill.
George Lawson III, M.D.
The doctor was very personable and made me feel at ease with the topics we were discussing. He was also very professional and knowledgeable.

Kinsley Nix
Kinsley is wonderful. I have been very well taken care of by her and the staff at The Vista. I’m thankful that I can come to Winston for my tattooing after my breast cancer surgery. I would highly recommend Kinsley!
