Philosophy & Practice Info

Practice Philosophy

The most important part of any successful practice is a satisfied patient. My staff and I will make every effort to make your visit comfortable and informative. We strive to be educated about the latest information and technology available to our patients. Our main concern is that our patients are completely satisfied with their results. We believe that the purpose of our endeavors is to build a satisfying, long-term relationship with our patients, and blend this association with the many opportunities we offer patients for realizing their goals.

I have been in private practice in Portland, Oregon since 1993. During this time I have built a strong referral network with local area physicians and surgeons. This helps to provide a continuum of care that is instrumental in the successful treatment of my patients.

Practice Specialization

Dr. Waldorf specializes in a wide range of procedures, while continuing to educate herself of the latest developments in Plastic Surgery (she is currently participating in two clinical studies that are attempting to determine the safety and efficacy of saline and silicone gel filled breast implants in women undergoing breast enhancement and/or breast reconstruction). Dr. Waldorf is an active member of the Cleft Palate Team at Legacy Emanuel Children’s Hospital and St. Vincent's, serving to surgically correct cleft lip and palate deformities.

Surgical Facility

We opened our office near St. Vincent Hospital September 1999. The Medical Center is conveniently located minutes from highway 26 and 217 interchanges. Here we offer Portland’s Premier Medical Day Spa in addition to our physician services. This facility has an accredited operating suite fully equipped to hospital standards. The modern complex houses some of the most up to date endoscopic surgical suites in Portland. This combination creates a center unique to all others in the Northwest.

Consultation

There is a one-time consultation fee of $100 due at the time of visit.
