SPECIAL ADVERTISING SECTION Focusing on Physical and Mental Wellness Akkary Surgery Center has been serving patients in Morgantown, WV, since 2008, but it is more than its decade-long history that sets Dr. Ehab Akkary’s practice apart. From inception, the center has been breaking new ground in cosmetic and bariatric treatments while simultaneously establishing innovative standards in personalized patient care. Unlike other practices, Akkary Surgery Center offers a rare combination of general surgery using advanced laparoscopic techniques, weight loss surgery and cosmetic surgery all under one convenient roof. “We were the first to do quite a few things in West Virginia,” says Akkary. In fact, he started his practice at an academic institution before joining a community hospital. He and his team were able to achieve the sought-after designation of Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence at both facilities. Akkary’s was also the first practice in central West Virginia to offer gastric balloon procedures. Akkary has built his practice by nurturing personal relationships with his clients, consistently receiving patient-voted awards for his dedicated and compassionate care. While some surgical practices might focus on high volume, Akkary carefully limits the number of clients he sees because he believes in giving each his individualized attention. “When patients come in, they always see me personally,” he says. “They have my phone number and can reach me directly.” As of May 2019, Akkary Surgery Center is accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care. Accreditation distinguishes this office-based surgery center from many other outpatient facilities by providing the highest quality of care to its patients as determined by an independent, external process of evaluation. Akkary is board certified in cosmetic surgery, facial cosmetic surgery and general surgery by the American Board of Cosmetic, Facial and General Surgery in West Virginia and Pennsylvania. Skinsational Medspa, a sister company of Akkary Surgery Center, offers a wide variety of services such as injectables like botox, fillers, restylane, radiesse and silicon; laser and IPL treatments; facials; dermal infusions; chemical peels; massages; waxing; and flotation therapy. Flotation therapy is a sensory deprivation chamber that has many physical and mental benefits that help with muscle aches and soreness as well as a complete relaxation experience that is commonly used by many professional athletes. Skinsational Medspa is the only spa or medical spa in Morgantown to offer this service. All medical procedures performed at the spa, including injectables and laser and IPL treatments, are performed by Akkary himself. Skinsational Medspa focuses on patient wellness through knowledge and education. The spa prioritizes making sure its guests enjoy their entire experience from the moment they call or walk through the door. The staff listens to guests through a detailed consultation process, assesses their needs and provides them valid treatment options. Skinsational Medspa aims to give the best quality of care in a calm and relaxing ambience as they focus on physical and mental wellness. 1100 Fort Pierpont Drive, Suite 101 & 102, Morgantown, WV 26508 Akkary Surgery Center (304) 241-1100 | www.yourdreambody.com Skinsational Medspa (304) 355-3110 | www.skinsational-medspa.com
