Piedmont Plastic Surgery & Dermatology

What Piedmont Plastic Surgery & Dermatology does

Piedmont Plastic Surgery & Dermatology (PPSD) is a privately held, physician-owned medical practice headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, founded in 1994 and operating 11 office locations across the state, including Charlotte (Blakeney, Cotswold, Toringdon), Gastonia, Huntersville, Denver, Hickory (two buildings), Shelby, and Forest City. The practice employs between 251 and 500 staff, comprising board-certified and board-eligible plastic surgeons and dermatologists alongside physician assistants, nurse practitioners, estheticians, and support personnel, and self-describes as the largest integrated network of physicians and surgeons under one name in the U.S.

PPSD delivers a comprehensive service stack spanning three integrated lines: surgical plastic surgery (breast augmentation/lift/reduction, facelift, rhinoplasty, liposuction, tummy tuck, Brazilian butt lift, mommy makeover, body contouring, hair restoration); medical dermatology (general dermatology, Mohs micrographic surgery with over 30,000 lifetime cases performed by Dr. Charles S. Johnson, dermatopathology, acne/eczema/psoriasis/rosacea treatment); and non-surgical cosmetic services (BOTOX, Dysport, Jeuveau, Juvéderm, Restylane, Sculptra, Kybella, CoolSculpting, Profound RF-microneedling, PRP facial and hair treatments, multiple laser platforms including GentleYAG, CO2 resurfacing, VBeam, Laser Genesis, IPL Limelight, laser hair removal, tattoo removal, chemical peels). Procedures are delivered in AAAASF-accredited outpatient surgical suites, and the practice operates an online store (store.ppsd.com) selling medical-grade skincare products under the SkinMedica and EltaMD brands, plus a ModMed-based patient portal and a Spanish-language website (es.ppsd.com) for Hispanic patient outreach.

Revenue is generated through quote-based, pay-as-you-go pricing on one-time surgical procedures and recurring cosmetic treatments (injectables, lasers, body contouring) plus retail skincare product sales, with patient acquisition driven by referrals, online presence (website, Instagram, Facebook), community television appearances, and 4.7-star reviews across 7,545 patients. The practice is organized as a partnership among physicians who joined sequentially (Dr. Dori Hunt as fourth partner in 2003, Dr. Patrick McElgunn as partner in 2007, Dr. Tonya McLeod as partner in 2008, Dr. Miguel Yáñez as partner in 2009); no external private equity or parent-company ownership is evidenced.
