The Marina del Rey office is conveniently located less than 10 minutes from Los Angeles International Airport. Patients are greeted by our friendly staff who are committed to making your consultation and your surgical visit as comfortable and rewarding as possible.
Educational films, brochures and photos are reviewed prior to seeing Dr. Stevens or Dr. Stoker. After talking with you and examining you, Dr. Stevens or Dr. Stoker will personally make recommendations to achieve your goals. Our nurses, Maria and Patrice, have been with the practice for over 30 years (combined). They will accompany the surgeons and assist in your preoperative and postoperative care. Charlie is our patient coordinator. She meets with all our patients and 'makes it happen.' She has been Dr. Stevens' patient coordinator for over 18 years. She shares her own personal surgical experience as well as coordinating your surgery, aftercare and accommodations for our out-of-town patients and guests.
Dr. Stevens and Dr. Stoker operate at the Marina Outpatient Surgery Center which is located in the UCLA Medical Building in Marina del Rey, California. Here Dr. Stevens developed the Stevens Laser Bra as well as laser-assisted breast reduction and breast enhancement. This facility is fully accredited by AAAA-SF and all anesthesiologists are certified by the American Board of Anesthesiology with training and certification in advanced cardiac life support (ACLS). Please request the name of the anesthesiologist assigned to your case to verify their board certification.
Aftercare is provided at one of the numerous local aftercare facilities. Patients generally spend one night and are seen the next morning after breast enhancement surgery. Dressings are changed, a new bra is provided, and patients either go home or to a local hotel. Most patients take it easy for 3 to 5 days and our out-of-town guests usually are home in a week or less. There are no external stitches, so there is no need for suture removal, and unsightly cross-hatches or "Frankenstein marks" are avoided.
Everyone is seen by Dr. Stevens or Dr. Stoker during the first week after breast enhancement surgery and before returning home. He is available to all his patients if they have questions or concerns. He likes to see the patients one year after breast enhancement surgery and thereafter as needed. Arrangements can often be made for you to see a doctor associated with Dr. Stevens or Dr. Stoker in your own area.
