Our Team

Exceptional care is built through trust, communication, and consistency. At Restivo Plastic Surgery, a dedicated team supports every patient with professionalism, discretion, and attention at every step.

A Team Dedicated to Our Patients

A surgical outcome is shaped not only by technique, but by the experience surrounding it. At Restivo Plastic Surgery, the team plays a central role in creating care that feels personal, organized, and grounded in respect.

From the first phone call through follow-up care, patients are supported by individuals who value clarity, continuity, and calm communication. The goal is simple: to make every interaction feel thoughtful, informed, and consistent.

A Small Team by Design

Restivo Plastic Surgery is intentionally structured as a boutique practice. The team is small, experienced, and closely involved in the patient journey from start to finish.

This continuity allows patients to feel familiar with the people supporting their care, rather than navigating a rotating cast of staff. Questions are answered clearly, concerns are addressed promptly, and communication remains streamlined throughout the process.

Supporting the Patient Experience

Each team member plays a specific role in ensuring care feels organized and respectful. While responsibilities vary, the shared focus remains the same: helping patients feel heard, prepared, and supported.

Patients often comment on the consistency of their experience; knowing who to contact, receiving clear instructions, and feeling that their time and comfort are valued. This level of attentiveness is intentional and central to the practice philosophy.

Discretion, Privacy, and Professionalism

Privacy is a priority at Restivo Plastic Surgery. The team understands that aesthetic care is personal and often sensitive, and every interaction is handled with discretion.

From scheduling and check-in to post-treatment follow-up, communication is conducted thoughtfully and professionally. The environment is calm and respectful, allowing patients to focus on their care without unnecessary distraction.

Working Alongside Dr. Restivo

The team works closely with Dr. Terry Restivo to support her patient-first approach. Clear communication between the surgeon and staff ensures that care plans are understood, expectations are aligned, and follow-up is consistent. This collaboration allows patients to experience care that feels cohesive rather than fragmented, with everyone working toward the same goal: outcomes that feel natural, intentional, and aligned with patient priorities.

What Patients Can Expect

Patients can expect a team that is approachable, attentive, and knowledgeable. Questions are welcome. Information is shared clearly. No one is rushed through decisions or appointments. Whether a patient is visiting for consultation, surgery, or non-surgical care, the team’s role is to provide reassurance, structure, and continuity throughout the experience.
