PRINCIPLES: As a board certifi ed plastic surgeon, I have provided
cosmetic and reconstructive surgery to the Roanoke Valley for 19
years. My staff and I continue to focus on offering the fi nest quality

like to thank our patients, the medical staff and readers of The Roa-
noker magazine for the honor of top cosmetic/reconstructive plas-
tic surgeon since 2003. It is a privilege to be a valued member of

After the impact of cancer or trauma, I believe that reconstructive
plastic surgery allows us to restore a level of wholeness and nor-
malcy to our lives. Cosmetically, my focus is to defi ne the most ap-
propriate surgical or non-surgical option to achieve a natural and
refreshed appearance. In both situations, everyone deserves to
understand their options and have all questions answered. Patient
education is as important as feeling comfortable with your surgeon.
BEDSIDE MANNER: Very giving of his time and provides clear and
thorough explanations.

“Those doctors of dental medicine who accepted invitations to join Blue Ridge Dental Group have reported
how much more they are enjoying their practices now that they have been relieved of worrying about the business side,” notes Dr. Greg Harvey, who partnered with Josh Nelson, MBA, to meet a vision that would continue to improve patient care while controlling the costs of dentistry in Southwest Virginia.
Blue Ridge Dental Group is the umbrella for five independent offices with additional growth expected in the future. Each of the ten dentists currently on board has interests in specific areas of dentistry in

addition to their concentrations in general and cosmetic dentistry. These include endodontics, periodontics, and dental implants. Their ability to seamlessly refer within their ranks has strengthened the comprehensive scope of each practice.
High-Tech, High-TouchBest practices and advanced technology are hallmarks of the Blue Ridge Dental Group.
“Vast improvements have been made in both dental technology and in the knowledge we now have about how important oral health is to your overall health,” says Dr. Harvey. “Our dental team has access to continuing education
and exceptional tools, including a laser that successfully treats gum disease without surgery and a computerized system that can restore teeth with ceramic crowns, veneers, onlays, and inlays in just one sitting.”
Customer care is another top priority. The friendly and compassionate front office staffs, dental assistants, and dental hygienists are the pride of the five offices.
“We look forward to welcoming new patients,” Dr. Harvey says, “and want our current patients to know how much we appreciate the opportunity to serve them.”
