New YES Surgery Centre in Langley Part of Community Growth

LANGLEY, BC, April 20, 2014 (Press-News.org) Plastic surgeon Dr. Mathew Mosher (www.drmosher.com) says he feels proud to be doing his part for his community and the adjacent municipal regions by adding a cosmetic plastic surgery centre to his Langley practice serving patients from Metro Vancouver and beyond. He has long met with patients in Langley at his YES Medspa and Cosmetic Surgery Centre for consultations and minor procedures, and he recently added a two room private surgical facility to his office to perform more extensive surgeries there, as well.

"It's a wonderful addition both to my practice and to the community," Dr. Mosher says. "Having a fully accredited ambulatory surgical suite right in the office means patients aren't leaving the Langley area to have surgery in hospitals in Vancouver or elsewhere."

The Township of Langley, with more than 100,000 residents, has redefined its economic development goals in recent years to attract businesses in emerging industries. Part of the goals set in 2012 by the Langley Economic Development Department also included helping existing companies to expand. YES MedSpa and Surgery Centre is literally at the geographic centre of the lower mainland with it's location at the intersection of Highway 1 and 200th street.

Dr. Mosher added his private surgical suite to his office in late 2013, and he says he's glad to add to the community's development efforts, as well as his own patients' safety.

The YES Surgery Centre is 1 of only 2 private surgery facilities currently in British Columbia that meets all the latest healthcare facility standards of the Canadian Standards Association. Dr. Mosher performs all his procedures there, including popular facial plastic surgery, breast augmentation, and liposuction.

Metro Vancouver patients benefit from having surgery in a private facility dedicated to the delivery of these procedures, Dr. Mosher says, because they aren't exposed to illnesses present at hospitals. Improved confidentiality and access to the most modern equipment and techniques are other benefits that are an essential component of his philosophy.

"Our private surgery centre has the same or better infection control safety features as large hospitals but none of the exposure risks," he says. "Plus it's integrated as part of our office, so it's simply more convenient for patients to visit only one facility for everything from consultations to surgery."

Dr. Mosher's office was designed with state-of-the-art safety standards in mind, he says, but also patient comfort. The facility features spa-like furnishings and modern design touches.

"Patients are attracted to our office because they feel like they are being treated as special," he says. "Adding a surgery centre was a logical next step to make the experience that much more accommodating and comfortable for the patient. The fact that it's helping the community of Langley to grow and thrive is a wonderful bonus, and I feel proud to contribute to those efforts as a community member and local businessperson."

Dr. Mathew Mosher (www.drmosher.com) is founder and director of YES Medspa and Cosmetic Surgery Centre, one of the largest solo cosmetic plastic surgery practices in Canada.

At his Vancouver practice, Dr. Mosher specializes in advanced techniques in cosmetic surgery as well as state-of-the-art non-surgical options. Because of the diversity of treatments he offers, patients have the freedom to choose the procedures that work best for their needs and lifestyles.
