Located in Biltmore Park, the facility began seeing patients on January 6, marking a significant step in the region’s healthcare landscape.

New Clinic, New Opportunities for Patients

The Novant Health Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery – Biltmore Park is led by local plastic surgeons Dr. Sarah Sher and Dr. Paul Tenzel. Their arrival is expected to fill a crucial gap in services for patients requiring various procedures, from reconstructive surgery after accidents to skin cancer reconstruction and body contouring following weight loss.

“We couldn’t be more excited to join Novant Health and continue providing the expert care our patients, and this region, deserve,” Dr. Tenzel said. This sentiment reflects a broader commitment to improving access to specialized care in the area.

This approach is particularly beneficial for cancer patients who often require a coordinated treatment plan involving multiple specialists. The integration of surgical services with reconstructive options allows for a seamless patient experience, ensuring that individuals receive the high-quality care they need throughout their treatment journey.
