The Plastics Clinic in Draper, Utah
Private mentorship + strategic advisory for plastic surgeons

There is no residency for private practice.

You spent more than a decade learning how to become a surgeon. Almost nobody taught you how to build the practice, culture, team, brand, business, and life around it.

The problem

The technical training ends. The real building begins.

Residency prepares you to operate. Private practice asks you to become a leader, entrepreneur, recruiter, marketer, financial operator, culture builder, and eventually an institution builder.

Build a culture people want to protect.
Understand your P&L and pricing.
Develop a signature clinical identity.
Build a personal brand with credibility.
Recruit and lead high-performing people.
Scale without becoming the bottleneck.
Create enterprise value beyond your hands.
Build success that gives you more life.

Why this exists

From surgeon to builder.

The Aligned Surgeon™ is a six-month private mentorship and strategic advisory experience for plastic surgeons who want to intentionally build an exceptional practice, brand, team, career, and life.

“Success without alignment can simply create a bigger version of a life you never intended to build.”

This is not about copying someone else’s practice. It is about becoming the surgeon and leader capable of intentionally building your own.

The framework

Align the surgeon before you scale the enterprise.

Every major decision is viewed through five connected domains, with alignment surrounding all five.

01

Self

Who are you becoming?

02

Craft

What are you becoming exceptional at?

03

People

Who are you building with?

04

Brand

What do people believe about you?

05

Enterprise

What are you ultimately building?

Inside the work

Built in the operating room. Proven in the practice.

The Aligned Surgeon connects clinical craft with the systems, people, culture and environment required to build an exceptional practice.

10 private working sessions. One integrated operating system.

Who this is for

For surgeons entering a chapter where intentional building matters.

This may fit if you are transitioning from academics or hospital employment, early in private practice, already successful but becoming the bottleneck, or preparing to build associates, an ASC, multiple locations, or a larger platform.

It is probably not for someone looking for shortcuts, unwilling to discuss numbers, unwilling to change, or primarily looking for social-media followers. The work requires transparency and execution.

All-in program investment

One practice. Up to five surgeons. Shared strategy with individual development.

The flagship six-month engagement is structured around one practice and includes the full advisory program plus the two-day TPC Draper Immersion.

1 surgeon$35,000
2 surgeons$50,000
3 surgeons$65,000
4 surgeons$80,000
5 surgeons$95,000

All-in pricing includes the TPC Draper Immersion. The first participating surgeon may bring one key practice leader; airfare and hotel for those two attendees are included. Additional surgeons attending the immersion are +$2,500 each.
