TouchMD

At Aesthetic Plastic Surgical Institute, Dr. Dan Mills values your time. He also believes that the best possible doctor-patient relationship is one made up of thorough communication and detailed information. Our board-certified plastic surgeon has put in place an innovative system at his practice called TouchMD. Endorsed by The Aesthetic Society^®, this technology is changing the way in which patients interact with their doctors, turning any wait time you encounter in the exam room into an opportunity to learn more about your procedure and treatment from a detailed, interactive touch-screen computer program.

What TouchMD Does

TouchMD is a state-of-the-art computer hardware and software device that is equipped with a touch-screen, allowing patients easy-to-use access to helpful information. With TouchMD, you are able to learn more about procedures you are considering and what you can expect from certain treatments while you relax in the waiting and exam rooms.

TouchMD is ideal for patients who want to fill any extra time here at the office by learning more about a specific treatment and by casually browsing Aesthetic Plastic Surgical Institute’s catalog of plastic surgery and aesthetic enhancement procedures. For example, if you’re coming in for a breast augmentation consultation and want to expand your knowledge on this treatment and learn more about what to expect before speaking with Dr. Mills, TouchMD can provide brief overviews and important facts about the procedure. Having this information at your fingertips can enhance communication between doctor and patient. You can obtain a fuller understanding of the treatment process, consider new questions to ask, and find tools that can help you efficiently communicate your goals and concerns.

At the same time, TouchMD also helps Dr. Mills provide patients with a clear explanation of what may be a very complex procedure. With visual aids provided by TouchMD, Dr. Mills can more easily convey the particulars of the treatment and recovery process, describe specific techniques that can be utilized, discuss the potential results, and more. He can also more effectively ease patients’ concerns about safety and risks associated with certain procedures. Ultimately, TouchMD can be a wonderful patient education tool that opens the door for more understanding and trust between you, Dr. Mills, and our plastic surgery team, while simultaneously making good use of any potential downtime during your appointment.
