Meet Dr. Beckenstein

A Unique Setting

The Comprehensive Consultation takes place in our innovative, state-of-the-art office building, personally designed by Dr. Beckenstein. His goal was to surround patients with various comfortable settings to ensure they have a relaxed, pleasant experience. The “flow” of the office is designed to be efficient, in order to minimize the time patients spend waiting.

Determine the Right Procedure for You

After an introductory multi-media presentation, you will meet with Dr. Beckenstein for an in-depth initial consultation. He will thoroughly educate you on the cosmetic surgery procedures that you are considering, and ask you to discuss your aesthetic goals and expectations. He will then review your options and answer all your questions. Next, Dr. Beckenstein will perform a physical exam and assessment, and continue to discuss the proposed procedures and options.

During the remainder of your visit, you will meet with our clinical and administrative staff. Here, you will receive further education on your procedures and what to expect before, during, and after your surgery. You will often hear firsthand experiences from associates who have had similar procedures.

Administrative Details

Once you are confident in your choice of procedure, you will meet with our financial or insurance consultant who will discuss coverage or fees involving your surgery and the various financing options we offer. Our Patient Services Specialist will also introduce herself to you to discuss your special care needs. She can help resolve scheduling issues, suggest accommodations for out-of-town patients, coordinate with other surgeons for joint cases, or assist with any other specific needs.

Care Driven By Compassion

Compassion is the cornerstone of Dr. Beckenstein’s work as a plastic surgeon. His heart for his patients inspired him to found the Alabama Breast Cancer Cooperative, a uniquely comprehensive resource for breast cancer care and emotional support. In addition, Dr. Beckenstein’s expertise in plastic surgery allows him to help survivors of tragedy reclaim their bodies and live happier, more confident lives.
