Avenue. In the beginning of 2010, she decided to take on more responsibility and transition
into an administrative role. Diana has embraced the title of practice manager, and has also
kept her responsibilities as Dr. Baroody’s cosmetic and surgical coordinator.
When interviewed, Diana said, “The things I enjoy most about working with Dr. Baroody are
the wide scope of plastic surgery procedures offered and the uniqueness of each patient.
Baroody Plastic Surgery is comprised of a mix of cosmetic and reconstructive patients. The
cosmetic patients are electing to have a procedure to enhance their appearance, or change
a physical attribute they are unhappy with. Everyone has insecurities, and it is very
gratifying to be able to help someone improve their self esteem and happiness with their
bodies. Treating patients with a medical ailment is also very rewarding. This group of
patients present to Dr. Baroody to reconstruct their form and function following cancer
surgery, traumatic injuries, birth defects, and the list goes on. I have learned so much from
Dr. Baroody’s bedside manner, as well as the intimacy and comfort each patient receives
because we are a solo physician practice. You are not just a name on a chart here, you are
a friend, and we take the time to ensure that our patients feel the confidence and support
needed to make an informed decision.”
