While growing up in Tulsa, Bryan R. Whitlock, M.D., always envisioned himself opening a medical practice in his hometown.

Therefore, from the facility's cozy ambiance to the staff's incomparable bedside manner, patients get the royal treatment from the moment they step through the door.

Of course, patients receive so much more than atmosphere when they visit Dr. Whitlock. The practice specializes in breast augmentations, tummy tucks and liposuction using the latest techniques and state-of-the-art equipment. Dr. Whitlock has a reputation as one of the top breast augmentation surgeons in the region. Patients travel from all over Oklahoma and surrounding states to see Dr. Whitlock.

Dr. Whitlock's efforts to stay current on all procedures have resulted in less recovery time for patients, as well as less pain. In fact, many patients do not require pain medication and can even go out to dinner on the night of their surgery.

Furthermore, thanks to the practices Tulsa location, Dr. Whitlocks services are easy on the pocketbook. Most of the procedures cost nearly half of those done on either coast or in larger cities. For instance, a breast augmentation can cost up to eigth thousand dollars in cities like Dallas and Denver, while Dr. Whitlock charges under four thousand dollars. This feature, coupled with the practices exceptional care, has attracted people from around the country to Whitlock Plastic Surgery.

Dr. Whitlock recently enhanced his suite of services, by expanding the practice with the formation of Reflexion Medical Spa. The spa boasts all types of skin care, from laser hair removal to photofacials, which treat sun-damaged skin and Rosacea, and Mesotherapy, a noninvasive treatment that reduces cellulite and improves skin tone. "This is what I have been dreaming about since I came to town," he explains.
