Turkle and Associates

What Turkle and Associates does

Turkle and Associates is a physician-owned, single-site private medical practice founded in 1993 by Dr. Janet K. Turkle, MD, operating alongside its non-surgical subsidiary Phases® Skin Care & Laser Center from 11455 N Meridian St, Suite 150, Carmel, Indiana. The practice is led by two double board-certified plastic surgeons (Dr. Turkle and Dr. Brandon C. Specht, DO) supported by approximately 30 professionals, and serves individual consumer patients across the Indianapolis/Carmel market. The service catalog spans surgical procedures (breast augmentation/lift/reduction/revision, gynecomastia, body lift, BBL, liposuction, tummy tuck, mommy makeover, facelift, brow lift, blepharoplasty, rhinoplasty, neck lift, chin augmentation, otoplasty, upper lip lift), injectables (Botox, dermal fillers, Kybella, PDGF+, fat transfer, liquid facelift, nonsurgical rhinoplasty), skin rejuvenation (BBL HERO, microneedling, RF microneedling, laser resurfacing, Ultherapy, EVERESSE RF), body treatments (CoolSculpting, Physiq, Emsella, ThermiVa, laser hair removal), facials and peels, and medical-grade retail skincare.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer model with consultation-based pricing — no public price list is available, and all fees are set during personalized consultations. Revenue is generated through three streams: one-time surgical procedure fees, a mix of one-time and recurring non-surgical treatment fees, and retail sales of medical-grade skincare and supplements. GTM is predominantly local, driven by the practice website (turklemd.com), organic social media (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, X), email newsletters, before-and-after galleries, community open-house events, and a digital Treatment Planning Tool that provides virtual procedure recommendations. Patient acquisition is reinforced by 150,000+ cumulative procedures performed since founding, which functions as social proof.

The underlying technology stack is conventional for an aesthetic medical practice: medical-grade aesthetic devices (BBL HERO, CoolSculpting, Physiq, Ultherapy, RF microneedling systems), the Vectra 3D Imaging System for surgical preview visualization, and a third-party Treatment Planning Tool hosted at treatment-builder.com. There is no disclosed AI/ML capability, no proprietary software platform, no app, and no API; technology is used as a clinical and patient-engagement layer rather than a differentiated product surface. Ownership is wholly physician-controlled with no identified parent company, private equity involvement, or institutional investment.
