Meet the Team at SARA Surgery

At SARA Surgery, exceptional care doesn’t start and end in the operating room—it’s built through every interaction, every conversation, and every detail along the way. Our team is dedicated to creating a welcoming, supportive, and highly professional environment where patients feel heard, respected, and confident in their care.

We are proud to introduce three key members of our team who help make that experience possible every day.

Natalie: Front Desk & Patient Relations

Natalie is often the first face you see and the first voice you hear when connecting with SARA Surgery. She plays a vital role in patient relations, ensuring every individual feels welcomed, comfortable, and cared for from the very beginning.

Her attention to detail, warmth, and professionalism set the tone for the entire patient experience. Natalie understands that reaching out to a plastic surgery practice can feel personal and sometimes vulnerable—she meets every patient with kindness, respect, and a genuine desire to help.

Jay: Medical Assistant

Jay is an essential part of the clinical team, supporting both patients and Dr. Dickie throughout the surgical journey. As a Medical Assistant, she helps ensure that every visit runs smoothly, efficiently, and safely.

From assisting during procedures to helping patients feel at ease during appointments, Jay brings a kind, capable presence to the practice.  She is often integral to coordinating care with our referring providers and ensuring pre-operative medical clearance is complete and post-operative care is optimal.  Her commitment to patient care and attention to detail help maintain the high standards that define SARA Surgery.

Laura: Patient Care Coordinator

Laura works closely with patients to guide them through their treatment plans from consultation to surgery to recovery. As a Patient Care Coordinator, she ensures that each patient understands their options, timelines, and next steps and feels fully prepared going into their big day.

Her ability to communicate clearly and compassionately helps patients feel informed and confident in their decisions. Laura is dedicated to creating a seamless experience, making sure no question goes unanswered and no detail is overlooked.  Her careful attention to detail and organizational skills ensure patient’s feel supported and confident.

Our Core Values in Action

What truly sets the SARA Surgery team apart is how each member embodies our core values:

  • Everyone deserves to be happy
  • We treat people with professionalism and respect
  • We provide high-quality, personalized plastic surgical care
  • We create cohesive, thoughtful treatment plans
  • We build a deep level of trust with our patients and their families

These are not just words—they are reflected in how we interact with every patient, every day.

A Team You Can Trust

At SARA Surgery, we understand that choosing to pursue treatment is a meaningful decision. Our team is here to support you at every step, ensuring you feel comfortable, informed, and confident in your care.

When you walk through our doors, you’re not just meeting a medical team—you’re meeting a group of professionals who are genuinely committed to your well-being and your experience.
