PAGE8 THE POST NEWS Sunday, November 20, 2005 COLLINI Continued from Page 1 surgeons — to perform surgical treatments which involve all kinds of anesthetic agents, in- cluding general anesthesia. “We had to change the design quite a bit to meet certain spec- fications, but the ultimate out- come is even greater than what we expected,” he said. Collini says three specific as- pects of the facility make it “pa- tient-friendly.” First, because plastic surgery is the only kind of surgery per- formed, there is a more sterile environment. Second, the ad- mission process for patients is streamlined and much less complicated than a regular hospital. And finally, amenities such lower lighting, the sound of falling water, and soft colors make it warmer and friendlier than a hospital operating room. “lI think it will stimulate more interest in the Back Mountain,” said Collini, who performs a wide variety of plas- tic surgery, including facelifts, liposuction, breast reduction and enlargement, nose re- shaping and Botox injections. “It shows the area is growing and it’s a good place to do busi- ness. It’s also a great place to live. ; “I think it’s a very positive ad- dition to the Back Mountain. It’s the kind of state-of-the-art facility you would only find in cities such as New York, Atlan- ta and Philadelphia.” And there could be more changes. At the present time, surgeries are performed on Monday, Tuesday afternoons, Friday, and Saturday morn- ings. Collini hopes that chang- es in the next few years. The Ambula- tory Surgical Facility at the Renais- sance Center for Plastic Surgery officially opened this week. The facility fea- tures two operating rooms and a recovery room. FOR THE POST/CHARLOTTE BARTIZEK “My ultimate goal is to have three or four other surgeons in this center,” he said. “I'd love to see the operating room func- tioning on daily basis.” For more than a decade, Col- lini and his wife Susan have been very active in the local community. In addition to many other events, the couple plays a large role in the annual Pink Ribbon Ball, which bene- fits breast cancer research. “Being a part of the commu- nity is very important to both of us,” said Susan Collini, who serves as the facility’s adminis- trative director. “We enjoy pro- moting the people and busi- nesses in the Back Mountain. We want them to thrive as much as us.” Susan Collini spent many hours helping to create more than 30 manuals for the new surgical center. The manuals include everything from poli- cies to rules to regulations. “It’s been a crazy process and was difficult, at times, to work through everything,” she said. “But it’s definitely worth it. This is a very exciting time for everyone here.” : DYB Continued from Page 7 Hayden Jenkins scored 20 points as Dr. Kish posted a 36-16 win against PNC Bank.
