Our Practice

Dr. Noone has devoted his entire career to providing high level plastic surgery care in an established, stable practice on the Philadelphia Main Line.

Dr. Noone desires to make your experience as pleasant and efficient as possible, whether you have been a patient in the past or are consulting with us for the first time. Dr. Hoffman has been an associate in the practice since 2009. We are very excited with the addition of Dr. Hoffman to our office. He has been trained in the latest procedures and the newest technologies.

Our staff is committed to the comfort and satisfaction of our patients.

We welcome you to schedule a plastic surgery consultation by calling 610-527-4833.

This page is intended to provide information for you about our office procedures and about our availability to provide services for you. Prior to your visit, we request that you read this review of the consultation process.

The Consultation

Dr. Noone's office hours are Monday from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM, Wednesday from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM, and Friday from 7:30 AM to 9:30 AM.

Dr. Hoffman's office hours are Tuesday from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM and Thursday from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Feel free to call the office if you need additional flexibility in appointment slots.

After you have completed all necessary paperwork at the reception desk, you will be shown a video which generally covers your area(s) of concern. The doctor will then evaluate you, review the procedure(s) available to you, and if indicated develop a plan for surgery. If your appointment is for surgery concerning the face we request that you do not wear any makeup to the office, or plan to allow enough time to remove it when you arrive, prior to your appointment time.

We also ask that you refrain from bringing cell phones or small children with you into the examining room as these may interfere with providing you a thorough and complete evaluation. The final part of your appointment will include photography and meeting with a patient coordinator to discuss scheduling and financial arrangements. We strive to make every consultation as personalized and informative as possible. Please be informed, however, that this initial visit may take up to two hours.

It is often helpful to bring a list of any questions you may have. After your appointment, if you should have any additional questions or concerns, you are welcome to return without charge for a rediscussion appointment to review your initial consultation. Feel free to contact our office staff with any questions after your evaluation.

Our staff is committed to the comfort and satisfaction of our patients.

The office staff will be available to you Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM until 5:00 PM. Should you need emergency assistance after 5:00 PM or on weekends, the doctor on call can be reached through our answering service by calling our office number (610) 527-4833. If Dr. Noone or Dr. Hoffman are away or unavailable, they will be "signed out" to another board certified plastic surgeon in our emergency call group.
