In this episode, Robin Ntoh sits down on location with Dr. Collier Pace of Greensboro Plastic Surgery to discuss how he has thoughtfully scaled his independent practice in just two years. From expanding nonsurgical services and evaluating the addition of an in-office operating room to building a strong team culture, Dr. Pace shares the principles guiding his practice's continued success.

Throughout the conversation, Dr. Pace explains how patient demand, provider utilization, and day-to-day operational insights help shape growth decisions.

From AI scribes and business intelligence tools to appointment management and patient communication, Dr. Pace offers a practical perspective on where emerging technologies can create value while preserving the personalized experience patients expect.

• How to scale a plastic surgery practice without overextending resources
• Why patient demand should drive growth and staffing decisions
• The importance of team culture in building a successful practice
• Key considerations when expanding surgical and nonsurgical services

In this conversation, Uma Daya, PA and Advanced Aesthetic Injector, Rudderman MD Plastic Surgery & Medical Spa unpack how leading practices are redefining patient relationships by combining education, access, and empathy to create a more connected experience from first touch through post-treatment follow-up.

You’ll hear from Uma how she:

• Shifts from one-time consultations to continuous, relationship-driven care journeys
• Gives patients direct access to practitioners, creating trust and reducing uncertainty
• Uses education not just to inform—but to build confidence, transparency, and emotional connection
• Creates a more personal experience in a high-volume, efficiency-driven environment

Because in medical aesthetics, trust isn’t built in a single appointment—it’s built over time through consistent communication, transparency, and human connection. Research shows that trust is foundational to patient decision-making and long-term relationships in aesthetic care.

In the world of medical aesthetics, providers are highly trained clinically, but leadership and team development aren’t always part of that foundation. The result? Miscommunication, staff friction, and missed opportunities to build a truly high-performing practice. 

In this episode, Robin Ntoh is joined by Cheryl Toth of ACG Practice Partners, live from the Medical Spa Show, to unpack how leadership coaching is helping practices transform the way their teams communicate, collaborate, and perform. From DISC assessments to real-world coaching strategies, Cheryl shares how practices can turn self-awareness into meaningful action. 

Inside the conversation, you’ll discover how successful practices:  

• Strengthen leadership by building self-awareness and understanding behavioral styles
• Address communication breakdowns and reduce day-to-day team friction
• Develop emotional intelligence to better navigate high-pressure patient environments
• Create a more supportive, resilient culture that benefits both staff and patients
• Turn insights into action through practical coaching, goal-setting, and accountability

They also explore the unique challenge of balancing patient expectations with the realities of a medical business, and how leaders can create consistency, clarity, and calm in fast-moving environments.

Whether you’re leading a team, managing a practice, or looking to improve how your staff works together, this episode highlights practical ways to elevate both culture and performance.

With social media shaping expectations around aesthetic treatments, today’s practices are facing a new challenge: misinformation before the consultation even begins. So how do leading medical aesthetics practices take back control of the narrative?

In this episode, Kassandra Lepack and Robin Ntoh break down how successful practices are redefining patient education in medical aesthetics by moving beyond basic consultations to deliver clear, consistent, and accessible information that builds trust before patients step in the door.

You’ll learn how top-performing practices:

• Combat misinformation and unrealistic expectations driven by social media
• Use visual tools and at-home education resources to reinforce key concepts
• Educate patients not just on treatments—but on downtime, outcomes, and real results

They discuss how tracking true costs can reveal surprising insights, like which procedures are actually making money and which ones just look busy on the schedule.

One key takeaway: “garbage in, garbage out.” If your data isn’t accurate, your decisions won’t be either.

Plus, hear why staff engagement isn’t one-and-done; it’s ongoing and built through consistent training, check-ins, and trust.

A Nextech user from day one, Dr. Michael McCracken is a board-certified oculoplastic surgeon who uses TouchMD to draw directly on patient photos during consults, assigns pre-op and post-op “homework” — including short videos he records himself — and gives patients a HIPAA-compliant way to keep the conversation going at home with their spouse or partner.

They also get into why photo quality is the real calling card of an aesthetic practice today, how to structure educational videos patients will actually watch, and what consistent consult and post-op systems do for closing rates, phone volume, and patient trust.

Questions answered by this episode:

1. How do plastic surgeons use TouchMD during patient consultations?
2. How can aesthetic practices reduce repetitive patient phone calls after surgery?
3. What is the best way to educate patients before and after a cosmetic procedure?
4. How long should patient education videos be for an aesthetic practice?
5. Why are before-and-after photos so important for plastic surgery marketing?
6. How can I share before-and-after photos without violating HIPAA?
7. What is an oculoplastic surgeon?
8. How much do patients actually remember from a consultation?
9. How can I show a patient what their surgical result will look like?
10. What makes a high-quality patient photograph in an aesthetic practice?

Michael Byrd and Brad Adatto highlight how something as small as a gift card can trigger complex state-by-state regulations, healthcare compliance issues, and impact a practice’s valuation. One example: $250K in untracked gift cards turned into a $1.5M hit during an acquisition. 

They discuss why med spas aren’t just retail—they’re medical practices—and why that distinction changes everything, from how revenue is handled to how patients are treated.

They also share the risks behind prepaid services, memberships, and popular trends like peptides, where practices may unknowingly violate state laws or medical board rules.

That passion led her to chair the American Society of Plastic Surgeons’ Public Education Committee, where she’s elevating patient education across the board.

Dr. Shermak breaks down what sets board-certified plastic surgeons apart, from the focus on safety and credentials to the importance of finding a provider who truly listens.

She also opens up about the challenges of teaching multiple generations, her favorite creative ways to share trustworthy information, and how platforms like Instagram are shaping the next wave of patient education.

As AI revolutionizes aesthetics, Dr. Shermak shares both excitement and caution about how tools like chatbots might change medical education and communication—and why accuracy and privacy still come first.

Recorded live at the ASPS Annual Meeting in New Orleans.

]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/70415819Wed, 04 Mar 2026 12:00:02 +0000NextechDr. Michele Shermak is on a mission to clear up the confusion surrounding plastic surgery. With med spas on every corner and social media full of mixed messages, she’s passionate about making sure patients get the right information from the right...
That passion led her to chair the American Society of Plastic Surgeons’ Public Education Committee, where she’s elevating patient education across the board.

Dr. Shermak breaks down what sets board-certified plastic surgeons apart, from the focus on safety and credentials to the importance of finding a provider who truly listens.

She also opens up about the challenges of teaching multiple generations, her favorite creative ways to share trustworthy information, and how platforms like Instagram are shaping the next wave of patient education.

As AI revolutionizes aesthetics, Dr. Shermak shares both excitement and caution about how tools like chatbots might change medical education and communication—and why accuracy and privacy still come first.

Recorded live at the ASPS Annual Meeting in New Orleans.

Her entrepreneurial journey started with a residential care facility, but a chance encounter with Latisse sparked her interest in aesthetics. Long before med spas were mainstream, Shawna launched Destination Aesthetics. She’s since grown it to five locations and recently sold the business to Advanced MedAesthetics Partners.

Shawna reflects on building her brand and the emotional decision to sell—calling the conversation with her team one of the hardest she’s ever had. She shares what she’d do differently and why honesty from the start matters more than trying to ease the message.

For those looking to scale or sell a med spa, Shawna offers clear advice: know your “why,” stay grounded in your values, and be ready for the emotional side of the journey. 

Plus, she shares the treatment and skincare brand she swears by, and why the future of aesthetics is all about personalization.

Here’s the reality: most med spas convert only 20-30% of patients. With a focused sales strategy and the right CRM, that number can climb to 70-80%, tripling revenue from the same leads.

A CRM puts all your leads—from social, email, website forms, and phone—into one place and shows exactly where they are in the pipeline. Jared explains the two KPIs every practice should measure: conversion from lead to consult and consult to patient.

A CRM is your secret sauce for acquisition, retention, and everything in between, and the glue that holds marketing, sales, and service delivery together. Jared and Robin share why sales are worth the investment, how to track ROI, and how automations free your team to focus on what really matters.

With Dr. Regina Fearmonti and Dr. Stanley Okoro, we’ll hear:

• How to attract and retain new non-surgical patients
• The importance of staying authentic as a plastic surgeon
• The value of lifetime patients
• Turning one-time surgical patients into lifelong non-surgical clients
• Why patient education is so important
• What they wish patients knew before stepping into their office
• Why patients should trust doctors more than what they see on social media

The surgeons also touch on the realities of before and after photos, stressing the importance of reminding patients that achieving the “after” involves more than just the procedure itself; there’s a recovery period too. It's not as simple as a quick car wash!

Plus, ever wonder what Drs. Okoro and Fearmonti would be doing if they weren’t plastic surgeons? Find out how they’d be using their creative talents.
