A nurse practitioner or a physician may be the one holding the syringe, and the better question for a Ponte Vedra Beach reader is how to find out which one will be treating you. Settle that before the appointment, not in the chair.
Where the ranking comes from
The order on this page is Google rating, taken from Google Maps profiles. New Beauty Company sits at the top of that order with a 5 rating across 332 reviews. The table below covers the fifth through the eighth place.
Fifth through eighth at a glance
| Provider | Place in the order | Google Maps category | Street |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shea Esthetics PV | fifth | Skin care clinic | Fairfield Blvd |
| Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery | sixth | Plastic surgery clinic | Ponte Vedra Park Dr |
| Contoura Facial Plastic Surgery | seventh | Plastic surgery clinic | A1A N |
| Aesthetix Plus Medical Spa | eighth | Medical spa | Town Plaza Ave |
Each provider, and who treats you
Shea Esthetics PV carries a 5 rating across 13 reviews. A listing is not a staff roster, so ask who performs injections there.
Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery has a 4.9 rating across 994 reviews. Reviews describe satisfaction, so they will not answer a question about credentials.
Contoura Facial Plastic Surgery has a 4.9 rating across 323 reviews. Its category matches the one above it, and the credential question still has to be asked out loud.
Aesthetix Plus Medical Spa shows a 4.9 rating across 154 reviews under Medical spa.
Two questions about who treats you
- Who will perform my injections, and what are their credentials?
- If the answer changes on the day, can I reschedule?
The American Board of Cosmetic Surgery's five essential questions for a cosmetic surgery consult sit alongside these two.
Which route fits a reader short on time
Ask both questions in the first call to whichever provider you contact. A clear answer on who holds the syringe gets you further than another round of ratings. For the physician side of the question, the ASPS article on why board certification matters for plastic surgery gives you language to use. For a sense of how a clinic lists its practitioners and services, read Stanford Health Care's cosmetic and laser dermatology page.
Recommendation: shortlist two providers from the table, ask the same two questions, and book with the one that answers plainly.
