Welcome from Dr Dufresne
I would like to welcome you to my practice. I believe that the patient-physician relationship is unique and that communicating openly and honestly is crucial to a successful relationship. Getting thoroughly acquainted with new patients and their needs and expectations is one of my foremost priorities.
During our initial consultation, we will discuss your medical history, current lifestyle, concerns, and expectations. Various procedures that are most effective in achieving those results will be discussed, along with the risks and benefits of the procedures. I have always striven to offer the best in latest technology and medications. Most importantly, I believe that it is my duty to first be a caring and compassionate doctor. Being a good doctor may include honestly discussing when it is in the best interest of my patients to change the timing or type of procedure.
Over the years, my practice has been built on the principles of caring and commitment to my patients. It is important to me to instill in my patients trust and confidence that I will be their best advocate and the assurance that their comfort and well-being will always receive my utmost attention.
I invite you to contact our office to reserve a time to discuss your needs in person and look forward to answering any questions you may have.

the future of Plastic Surgery


Supporting American Manufacturing
Our office supports you: the American worker. From bandages to high-end optics, if an appropriate American-made option exists, we strive to use it and support our fellow Americans who made it. This is not to detract from the many excellent foreign-made products we use each day or the workers who made them, but supporting American manufacturing where we are able supports our friends, neighbors, family, and the people in our communities who depend on these jobs.
