"I chose Dr. Mills and
his staff because he was highly recommended
by a close friend. Living in Europe , I did
my research of surgeons in Italy and France.
I also looked into having surgery in Australia.I
felt the most comfortable with Dr. Mills and
his staff of trained nurses who guide you through
every step of the procedure. I was very well
cared for and they lessened my fears before
surgery.
"After 5 months post-op,
I am pleased to have the same results that
Dr. Mills explained to me prior to surgery.
I feel that it is important that the results
are in line with the expectations of the
patients and Dr. Mills and his staff has
exceeded this. I highly recommend Dr. Mills
and his excellent staff."

"I highly recommend Dr. Mills to anyone who wants a kind, warm, and gifted
surgeon. I flew all the way from Tokyo , Japan to have my BA and tummy tuck done
(I am an American living in Tokyo )...It was well worth the 10 hour flight and
two week stay in the U.S. I am so pleased with the results and the quality of
care I received. If I choose to have anymore plastic surgery, I would only go
to Dr. Mills. Moreover, Dr. Mills' office staff was top-notch.
"The entire
office made you feel you were a part of the
family. Almost all of his people were former
patients who chose to work for Dr. Mills after
their BAs. Everyone in his office displayed
a high-level of professionalism and knowledge."

Dr.
Mills has developed an approach to best meet the
needs of our patients traveling from out of town.
After your initial inquiry, our patient coordinator
will provide you with all the information that
you need and answer any questions (via phone or
email) to make sure that you are well-informed
about the procedure(s) that you are interested
in. Additionally, we will send you a video (or
CD/DVD) produced by Dr. Mills about the procedure.
We will ask that you send us (either via email
or mail) photographs of yourself (hopefully like
the photos on our web site, so that you can be
evaluated reasonably), so that Dr. Mills can evaluate
your needs and desires individually.
When you decide to do your surgery with Dr.
Mills, we will send you all the pre-operative
instructions, paperwork and consents necessary
for surgery. You will be asked to complete this
paperwork and do the required lab work. Those
results need to be in our office no less than
one week prior to your surgery date. This time
frame will allow our nursing and anesthesia team
to review your results and ensure that you are
medically ready for surgery. Additionally, one
of our Patient Coordinators will contact you
and review all of your pre-operative instructions
with you prior to your departure.
In addition to your paperwork and laboratory
tests, our Patient Coordinator will assist you
in arranging lodging accommodations, nursing
care and transportation (to and from the airport
and/or hotel), if you so desire. We have relationships
with many of the local resorts and hotels and
can book your stay for you. If you are traveling
with family or friends, we also could book you
a condo close to our office. Simply, let us know
how we can assist you and we will do everything
possible to accommodate your needs.
We ask our patients to arrive at least one to
two days prior to their surgery. At this time,
Dr. Mills will examine you and prepare you for
surgery. This will be your time to ask Dr. Mills
any additional questions and review your pre-operative
instructions.
On your surgery day, you will be in the hands
of Dr. Mills and his experienced surgical team.
We will ask that you have a responsible adult
pick you up and stay with you for the first 24
hours. If you are traveling alone, we can make
arrangements for a nurse to take you back to
your hotel, stay with and care for you and bring
you back for your post-operative appointment.
(The length that we will ask you to stay will
depend on which procedure(s) you are having done.)
When you are ready to return home, we will want
to know how you are doing. We would encourage
you to keep in touch with our office and periodically
update us with your progress. As with all of
our patients, we ask that you call and/or email
as questions or needs arise. Additionally, we
ask that you send us periodic photos (via mail
or email), so that Dr. Mills can visually see
your progress.
We invest a lot of time and energy into our
out of town patients because we know they often
travel great distances to see us. These patients
generally leave a lasting impression on our office
because we spend so much time communicating with
them prior to their arrival.
We are committed to making this an easy and
relaxing journey for any of our out-of-town patients.
If you are considering plastic surgery and do
not live in southern California , you can email
our patient coordinator at info@danmillsmd.com and she would be happy to send you more information.



In
addition to Dr. Mills' reputation and approach,
we believe that the picturesque community surrounding
our office has also played a part in the continued
surge in out-of-town patients who opt to have
surgery with Dr. Mills. Our office and surgical
facility are located in the art community of Laguna
Beach , which hugs an incredible rugged coastline
view. Many of the hotels and resorts overlook
the coastline, making this an ideal place to recover.
We have relationships and corporate rates with
many of the great hotels and resorts in the area,
including the Surf and Sand Hotel and the Ritz
Carlton.

To give you an idea of the area
where we are located, here is a list of local hotels
and recreational information.
