Patient Safety
All procedures are performed on an ambulatory out-patient basis. In rare instances, when hospitalization is required, White Plains Hospital Center is used. Those patients who live within approximately 45 minutes of the office, go home directly following surgery.
If a patient lives too far away or is not comfortable returning home, we will assist in making arrangements at a local hotel. Our nurses are also available for those patients who prefer or require to have a nurse with them following a procedure.
Facility
Patient safety is the first concern of Dr. Ciardullo and the surgery center. This is optimized by having a facility which is accredited to the highest possible standard meeting hospital level standards. It is also achieved by having highly experienced board-certified anesthesiologists who regularly work with him, And a team of experienced registered nurses who have extensive experience in the operating room and the recovery room with plastic surgical patients. Dr. Ciardullo at the time of consultation not only inquires about the cosmetic goals of the patient but also asks a medical history and has laboratory testing and in some cases medical clearance performed to assure the patients proper health and well-being for surgery. This is all to assure maximum patient safety which is the first priority. The second priority of course is the cosmetic outcome which depends on a host of factors including the surgeons skill, the patient’s anatomy, and the healing process.
Our Staff
The surgical facility and post surgical recovery area is staffed by anesthesiologists from Northwell Health. Dr. Ciardullo operates regularly with the same group and has done countless procedures with them without an anesthesia complication of any kind. The nursing staff are all registered nurses with particular experience in surgical and recovery nursing for plastic surgical patients. The office staff is courteous and professional at all times. The surgical coordinator is regularly complemented by the patients for being so helpful and accessible. The goal is to make the patient’s experience as pleasant as possible from the initial consultation through the surgical procedure, the recovery and the postop follow up. Dr. Ciardullo is available to all his patients postoperatively by cell phone and welcomes patients to call with any questions or problems.
Operating Room
Dr. Ciardullo operates in the Surgical Specialty Center Of Westchester which is conveniently located across the hall from his office. The center has four modern operating rooms and a large recovery area all of which meet the highest level of accreditation standards possible and are accredited at the same level as a hospital. This means that the facility, The equipment, the credentials of the staff, the anesthesiologists, the procedures, the sterility, and all aspects of patient care that are essential to patient safety meet the highest possible standards and are equal to those met at large hospitals. This puts patient safety at a premium.
Patient Safety
This is the most important consideration in any surgery, cosmetic or otherwise. Beyond maintaining the excellence of the facility, his own credentials and those of his staff, Dr. Ciardullo is also extremely conservative in his selection of patients for surgery. Patients who have serious risk factors ( such as untreated coronary artery disease, obesity, age etc) are discouraged from having surgery and are often declined. Although these patients may choose to go elsewhere for surgery, Dr. Ciardullo’s conservative views have resulted in the best possible patient safety outcomes. Dr. Ciardullo has never lost a patient.
