Jody Giraud, Office Manager/Patient Coordinator

Jody is our extremely personable office manager and patient coordinator. From your first office visit through your postoperative care, she will be your guide to smooth your way.

She brings over a decade of Plastic Surgery office experience with her, and can answer most questions.

Amy Haiser, RN

Amy or our other nurse, Cheryl (pictured below), will see you initially for your consult. They will go over your personal medical histories and find out exactly what are your areas of concern. They go over the basics of the procedures that are appropriate to these areas and make sure you have written information to take home. After they have finished the initial part of the consultation, you will meet with Dr. White, who will help you determine what procedure is most likely to address your area(s) of concern. This is of course a very personal matter, and your unique issues and desires are taken into account.

The nurses also will help you to get ready for surgery if you and Dr. White have agreed on a plan of action. The preoperative appointment encompasses coordination of information from your other physicians, the prescriptions needed, your pre and postop instructions, preop photographs and measurements, and anything else needed to optimize your surgical experience.

Finally, they assist the doctor in patient teaching, dressing changes, suture removal, postoperative visits, and keeping you as comfortable and informed as possible.
