In the summer of 2004, I was very proud to open The Center for Positive Aging in Martinsburg, West Virginia. I was already quite busy with a successful outpatient medical practice, as well as a fulfilling hospital-based practice in intensive care medicine. I’ve had a long-standing interest in anti-aging medicine, and its related specialties of non-surgical and surgical aesthetic procedures. This interest inspired me to formally pursue a completely new field of medicine!

In the past 6 years, the aesthetic medical services market has exploded. We have experienced wonderful patient growth at The Center, primarily through word-of-mouth, which is the most gratifying way to grow as a practice.  Our Menu of Services has expanded to include most non-surgical aesthetic procedures, as well as the in-office surgical procedure PureLipo™ bodysculpting.

The Center was featured in The Journal’s Health and Fitness section in March 2008, highlighting that we were the first to use Sciton’s ProFractional technology in the state of West Virginia. Read More »

My interest is to provide each patient with the state-of-the-art in medical aesthetic treatment, and in so doing, improve or correct the problem that brought that patient through our doors.

To you, our valued patient, I pledge:

• A thorough and comprehensive consultation. This means I will take the time to understand your specific concerns. I will explain in detail why I recommend the services I do, and do my part to ensure you have realistic expectations regarding treatment results. The consultation also includes recommending a medical-grade skin care regimen for use at home, if this is appropriate to your needs.
• To treat you in a pleasant and professional manner. The Center for Positive Aging will continue to be an aesthetic practice that patients feel comfortable referring friends and family to.
• To earn your trust! We’re aware that you have several choices for aesthetic services. Through our experienced staff, state-of-the-art lasers and equipment, advanced services, follow-up and our integrity, we provide you with the best medical aesthetic service available.
