Come in & meet our staff! You’ll feel like you’re with friends.
Our experienced patient care staff are here to help you through every step of your journey, whether you are considering a surgical procedure or simply want to ask a question. In fact, most of our staff have first-hand experience as a patient, having had cosmetic surgery themselves. We invite you to get to know our staff a little more at a personal consultation.
Maureen Walls, RN: Patient Coordinator
Maureen Walls, RN, our Patient Coordinator at Boston Plastic Surgery, says that the reason she believes the staff is so extraordinary is that Dr. Samaha has chosen each one for not just their professional expertise but, just as importantly, the way that they treat patients. From the friendly, helpful attitude at the front desk as soon as you walk in the door to sensitive post-surgery care, everyone on the team treats each patient like they are a part of the family. The staff is made up of mature, seasoned professionals with extensive experience in the field of cosmetic surgery.
“Change is never easy and can be scary. We really understand that, especially when it’s in such an unfamiliar terrain like cosmetic surgery. Our job is to make each patient feel informed, comfortable, and cared for. The experience should be as satisfying as the results.”
Maureen combines her extensive experience as a nurse with a genuine caring for people to help provide a safe and comfortable experience for all of our patients.
Maryanne Savage, RN, BSN: Aesthetic Nurse Injector
Maryanne has been a devoted nurse since 1984. In 2006 Maryanne focused her talents on the field of aesthetic and cosmetic nursing. With extensive training and years of hands-on experience, Maryanne is well qualified in Botox injections and dermal fillers for facial rejuvenation and in the use of cosmetic lasers for a large variety of aesthetic uses. Dedication to each patient and to their well-being is first and foremost in Maryanne’s thoughts and beliefs.
“My number one goal is to see through the eyes of each individual patient, which allows me to develop a relationship with them and to be compassionate to them and their aesthetic concerns.”
Using Botox to relax facial lines or dermal fillers, such as Juvéderm, to restore facial volume lost to the normal aging process, Maryanne strives to restore and enhance her patient’s own natural beauty and youthful appearance. By artfully sculpting, highlighting each patient’s own positive features and diminishing areas of concern, Maryanne provides each patient with a safe and rewarding experience.
