Reading Plastic Surgeons - Dr. Ellenberger and Dr. Reedy

Pamela M. Ellenberger, M.D. - Board-Certified - Reading Plastic Surgeon

Earning Trust
“The foundation of the practice that Brian and I have built over the years can be described with a single word: trust. By developing our surgical expertise past the point of mastery and artistry, and by refining our skills as caring counselors and guides, we have added to the health and happiness of thousands of our neighbors. Naturally, patients share their experiences with friends and acquaintances, and in that way our practice grows organically. True, some prospective patients arrive knowing little more about us than what they see on this website. The great majority come, however, because someone they respect has spoken of how well they were treated and how pleased they are with the results.”

Brian K. Reedy, M.D. – Reading Cosmetic Surgeon – Board Certified

Treating the whole patient
“Pamela and I never forget that each prospective patient who comes to us seeking improvement in her or his appearance is a unique human individual. Before we can offer to perform any cosmetic or reconstructive procedure for that person, we must work to know her or him-not only every nuance of medical history and physiological profile, but also that person’s family and social history, mindset, desires and expectations. That is what we mean when we speak of holistic medical care. We are not here to fulfill Hollywood fantasies. Our mission is to help each person to achieve her or his realistic aesthetic ideal-a potential beauty that nature may have denied or time may have compromised.”
