Hopkins Aesthetic Advisors helps surgeon-led practices improve revenue capture, patient flow, team accountability, compliance readiness, and enterprise value — without giving up control to consolidators.
Danna is without question the most impressive individual I have been fortunate to work with. She is truly someone whose value is immeasurable.
For more than fifteen years, I built, scaled, and operated premium aesthetic and plastic surgery platforms — from independent practice environments to a publicly traded, multi-site enterprise. Most recently, I served as COO and Head of Sales at AirSculpt Technologies (Nasdaq: AIRS), guiding the company through its 2021 Nasdaq IPO and significant multi-location expansion including international markets. I have sat across the table from institutional buyers, investment bankers, and private equity groups — I know exactly what they look for, what they pay for, and what makes a practice worth protecting.
I know what the consolidators look for. I know what they pay for. And I know, with precision, what makes a practice too profitable, too well-run, and too strategically sound to need them — or to settle for less than it's worth.
“She possesses the rare ability to think strategically at the highest executive level while also remaining deeply engaged in the day-to-day operational realities. She is equally adept at designing scalable systems and KPIs as she is at problem-solving in real time. Her leadership inspires confidence because she leads by example, maintains high standards, and delivers results.”
Hopkins Aesthetic Advisors works primarily with independent plastic surgeons and surgeon-led aesthetic practices. My core focus is helping surgical practices protect physician time, increase revenue capture, improve operational discipline, and build enterprise value — without giving up control to larger platforms. Med spa advisory is available selectively, but plastic surgery is where this work lives.
"She is an outstanding leader whose operational expertise, strategic judgement, and commitment to excellence make her an invaluable asset to any organization."
Most consultants offer advice from a distance and move on. I work differently — with a small roster of clients, sustained engagement, and accountability to actual outcomes. The practices I work with get a genuine operational partner, not a methodology applied from the outside.
Plastic surgery practices are different — high-trust, high-ticket, physician-led businesses where small operational breakdowns create major revenue leakage. Every engagement is structured around where your practice is and where it needs to go.
The most expensive resource in your practice is your time in non-clinical work. I identify what you are doing that a well-built team and system should own — and build the infrastructure to take it off your plate permanently.
A comprehensive assessment of your practice — financial performance, revenue mix, OR utilization, pricing, staffing, patient flow, and consult conversion. Delivered as a prioritized action plan with immediate wins and a 12-month roadmap you can execute.
Most practices lose significant revenue between the consult and the booked case. I identify exactly where patients are falling out, rebuild the consult flow, and implement the follow-up systems that convert interest into scheduled surgery.
Underpricing is one of the most common and costly mistakes in independent plastic surgery. I assess your fee structure against your market, your outcomes, and your positioning — and help you hold price with confidence.
Preparation for AAAASF, AAAHC, or Joint Commission accreditation — plus OSHA, HIPAA, and employment compliance. Policy and procedure development, mock surveys, staff readiness, and application support built on direct multi-facility experience.
For practices opening a second location, launching an ASC, or building toward a future transition. Full advisory from concept through execution — including pro forma, staffing model, and positioning for long-term enterprise value.
Embedded operational leadership for practices in active growth or transformation — overseeing operations, team performance, revenue systems, and patient experience end to end. C-suite expertise without the full-time overhead.
I work selectively with med spas and aesthetic practices when there is a meaningful opportunity to improve operational structure, compliance readiness, patient experience, or revenue capture. My core focus is surgical practices — but I take on medspa work when the complexity and opportunity warrant it.
Every engagement begins with a candid, no-obligation conversation about your practice and your goals.
Schedule Introductory CallPlastic surgery practices are high-trust, high-ticket, physician-led businesses. A missed handoff, weak consult flow, unclear pricing process, underused OR day, or overextended surgeon can cost far more than most practices realize — and the compounding effect over months is significant.
Most aesthetic consultants focus on marketing, injectables, or med spa growth. My work is different. I help plastic surgeons solve the operational, financial, and leadership issues that determine whether a practice becomes more profitable, scalable, and valuable.
"The goal is not to turn your practice into a corporate platform. The goal is to give you the operational strength of one — while preserving the independence, reputation, and clinical judgment that made your practice valuable in the first place."
Hopkins Aesthetic Advisors helps surgeons build the operating structure around their expertise — so the business can grow without depending on the physician for every decision.
I work with a deliberately small number of practices at any time. Before any engagement begins, I want to make sure the fit is genuine — for both of us.
Regulatory scrutiny of aesthetic and plastic surgery practices has increased significantly in recent years. HIPAA enforcement actions, OSHA inspections, employment claims, and fee-splitting investigations are no longer abstract risks — they are active, documented, and growing.
The practices most at risk are those that have grown quickly, added staff, expanded services, or changed ownership — without pausing to ensure their operational and compliance infrastructure kept pace.
“A compliant practice protects more than paperwork — it protects patients, providers, revenue, reputation, and the long-term value of everything you’ve built.”
“Non-compliance can result in loss of licensure or accreditation — preventing a facility from operating legally or participating in insurance networks.”
I keep my client roster deliberately small. Every practice receives genuine depth of engagement — not a methodology applied from a distance. Here is how a new relationship typically unfolds.
A candid, no-obligation call to understand your practice, your goals, and where you feel the friction. No pitch, no pressure — just a real conversation to see if there's a genuine fit.
A structured deep dive into your operations, financials, team, and patient journey. I look at everything — not to find problems, but to find leverage.
A clear, prioritized roadmap — quick wins that build early confidence and longer-term moves that compound. Specific enough to execute, flexible enough to adapt.
Sustained implementation support and direct access. Not advisory at arm's length — a genuine operational partner who stays in it with you through execution.
