Financing

Our office will work with you to find the best approach for financing your surgery. We acknowledge the need for an individualized approach, so we can create specific financing possibilities on a case-by-case basis. We offer flexibility with payments, as well as access to many respected healthcare lenders such as Care Credit. Dr. Zampell is an in-network provider with many insurance plans.

Cosmetic Insurance

Although complications are rare, Dr. Zampell prefers you have insurance to cover unexpected expenses that may arise with your cosmetic procedure. Dr. Zampell participates in CosmetAssure, insurance you will obtain for any cosmetic procedure, assuring the extra peace-of-mind of having coverage for procedures outside of the scope of your regular health insurance.
