Twenty-One Years As An Accredited Facility

Plastic Surgery Center of Manchester, New Hampshire

Founded in 1972 by Peter T. Pacik, MD, FACS, the Plastic Surgery Center of Manchester, NH, provides state-of-the-art cosmetic procedures and facial rejuvenation to patients throughout the Northeast. The facility has been in the forefront of many plastic surgery procedures, and is the accredited facility with the longest uninterrupted term (21 years) by the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities, Inc. (AAAASF). Pacik credits the AAAASF accreditation with helping the surgery facility maintain the highest standards of patient safety. In fact, Pacik recently was recognized within the augmentation mammaplasty specialty for a new technique that improves breast rounding and fullness and prevents breast fold lowering.

The center has an operating room devoted exclusively to cosmetic procedures, a recovery room and a skin care room. The staff includes Dr. Pacik, Daniel A. Sterling, MD, three RNs, and a CRNA/ARNP. The facility is a long-time supporter of the cleft palate unit of Crippled Children's Services and donated its services for this worthy cause.

Dr. Pacik graduated from the City University of New York in 1961 with a Bachelor of Science degree, cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa. He received his medical degree in 1965 from the University of the State of New York, interned at Beth Israel Medical Center in New York and completed his general surgery residency at Beth Israel Medical Center and the Westchester County Medical Center.

Dr. Pacik is the author or several scientific publications, and frequently presents scientific work at meetings and conferences. He is also a member of numerous organizations including the American Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons, American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, International Society of Clinical Plastic Surgeons, New England Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons and the New Hampshire Medical Society. Dr. Pacik is a fellow of the American College of Surgeons.

"At the present time, I enjoy the ongoing challenges of cosmetic surgery and the ever changing improvements. The large number of patients through the years has allowed me to take the next step with a series of ongoing clinical studies and publications.”             Dr. Pacik
