About Dr. Todd M. Gerlach

"When choosing a surgeon, it is important to feel comfortable. A person considering plastic surgery should never feel pressure to commit to something they are unsure of. We take the time to get to know our patients and educate them on the options they have to reach their aesthetic body goals.

I believe that the best results are those that are not overdone, I like surgical outcomes that rejuvenate naturally, complimenting balance and proportions artistically.

We can all strive to improve and maintain our natural assets. I feel privileged when chosen to care for a person, and make it my responsibility to take their treatment personally. My office and I provide the quality of care that we believe you should expect from a surgeon."
