< PreviousA Team Effort It’s safe to say that The SHAW Center, a one-stop shop for making locals feel and look their very best, wouldn’t be possible without a loyal and talented team. “Over the years, I have put together a very cohesive group of professionals,” says Dr. Shaw. “We have a full range of RNs, medical assistants and laser- certified aestheticians. The thing that is unique about this practice is the longevity. I think there’s a loyalty to the team and a loyalty to me. They are proud to be a part of this center. I choose the employees and the team carefully in that they all have passion at what they do. They love what they do. They are self-driven. They are passionate about their outcomes. We have created a culture. This is not something that was created overnight.” Each teammate’s loyalty and dedication to their craft is apparent in the number of years they have spent working with Dr. Shaw. Kathryn, director of Non-Invasive and Skin Care Services, and aesthetician Cindy have worked for the center for 19 years; Evette, master injector and clinical director, has been with the center for 18 years. Lisa Van De Perre, a registered nurse and master injector, has been a part of the team for 17 years while Yola, Dr. Shaw’s surgical first assistant, and Angela, front office patient coordinator, have tallied 14 years. In fact, all 15 members of Dr. Shaw’s staff—rounded out by surgical coordinator Diane, registered nurse injector Mandi, medical assistant Deanna and laser aestheticians Brandi and Ashley—have at least a few years under their belt at his practice. “Co-workers” simply doesn’t cut it among this group; “family” is much more apt. “I love everyone here,” says Angela. “We hang out outside of work. They are all like my sisters. I don’t dread coming to work on Monday because it feels like a family. Dr. Shaw and Lisa Shaw are really good to us.” Angela even recalls an instance during her earlier years at the center when her son suffered a skateboarding injury and needed stitches in his head. Though she didn’t want to bother Dr. Shaw during his day off, he met her at the office minutes later, ready to help mend the youngster. Yola echoes the dedication of Dr. Shaw and his wife, Lisa, to the staff, noting that Lisa is especially involved in creating AZFOOTHILLS | BEAUTIFIERS 78 AZFOOTHILLS.COM Beautifiers.indd 263/6/19 9:34 AMthoughtful holiday parties and Nurses’ Day events for the staff to show their appreciation. While the team regards Dr. Shaw’s talents very highly, the same can be said for the respect he has for his A-list squad—and the respect they have in one another. “He trusts our abilities,” says Evette, noting that she drives an hour and a half each way to work. “He knows we will go above and beyond and do whatever it takes to provide the best results.” Cindi says it is such top-tier results that has kept many of the same patients coming back to The SHAW Center time and time again in her nearly two decades in practice there. Van De Perre even gets emotional when asked what has kept her on board for all these years: “We are a family. I can’t imagine working for or with anyone else.” What’s New, What’s Next Though he’s usually not the first one to jump on the newest technology until its results are tried and true, Dr. Shaw prides his practice on forever being on the cutting edge. Recently, he introduced e-commerce to his new Web site, making purchasing skin care products, services or e-gift cards and memberships a breeze for his patients. Plus, he and his team are now offering various avenues to patients on their path to optimal health and wellness, something not often a part of peer practices. “I am the first plastic surgery office to introduce whole- body cryotherapy in an attempt to move toward health and wellness. We will soon be launching Scottsdale Cryo at the SHAW Center.” Cryotherapy decreases inflammation, relieves pain, boosts energy, aids in weight loss, stimulates collagen and allows users to sleep better while IV therapy, another wellness option at The SHAW Center, helps with hydration, immunity, vitamin absorption and more. So, after more than three decades in practice, what keeps Dr. Shaw—alongside his dream team—going and always at the top of their game? He boils it down to three things: “I really love what I do. I am really good at it. I am making people happy on a daily basis. As long as those three things are in play, I will continue on.” AZFOOTHILLS | BEAUTIFIERS Dr. Shaw has been board certified by both the American Board of Plastic Surgery and the American Board of Surgery. He is a member of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons and the American Society of Plastic Surgery. @azfoothills #azfoothills 79 Beautifiers.indd 273/6/19 9:32 AMTHA T ’ S ALL , FOLK S . … 80 AZFOOTHILLS.COM Fin RUFF RIDER We can’t imagine a better shoe to take you into spring.
