Next Surgical Artistry Modesto
Marathon will be March 20, 2011!!
Announcing the inaugural
Surgical Artistry
Modesto Marathon March 21, 2010. There will also be a
half marathon and 5K that day.
Modesto Marathon
(main website). The Marathon course has been certified to
be a Boston Marathon Qualifier.
"With the anticipation of increased
competition in the wake of healthcare reform, I believe
physicians will have to engage online and become more
transparent. An excellent example of what I believe to be the
future is
www.askdrwu.com, the website of surgeons Drs. Calvin Lee and
Tammy Wu, who publish their statistics so you can see their
experience and success rates. Educated patients will
increasingly demand to know complication rates, and will spread
the word about great surgeons who embrace transparency"
This was a successful event for us.
Exactly 100 guests attended (yes we were counting) and $2300
worth of skin care products were raffled off (congratulations!).
We have some behind the scenes
plastic surgery open house results from this day (if you're
interested in seeing what people bought, and how much money we
budgeted to make this plastic surgery event happen - basically
another blog-type entry by Dr. Lee). We hope to have
another plastic surgery event like this next year (2010).

We have international patients. Although our latest out of town
plastic surgery patient was from St. Louis, Missouri - not quite
international but it is out of state.
1/12/07 launching a new webpage called
http://www.newtomodesto.com For
businesses, and events that are new to Modesto, and for information for
those of us who are "new to modesto!"
Due to popular demand. I'm releasing to the public the
color schemes I used to
design the medical office (paint, granite, light fixtures, flooring).
We didn't have time to request the expertise of a interior decorator.
2/24/07 Our open house was a great success. We had a total of
about 235 people attend.
Dr. Lee put some finishing touches to his website
http://www.bigveins.com all about the

4/6/07 Some patients are able to get their
Blue Cross PPO's to say that Dr.
Tammy Wu is on their panel. We're not sure why it's not all of them.
Call your Blue Cross PPO insurances and check if you're interested. We
checked on the Blue Cross website and it has her listed as a provider under
Plastic Surgery. Things must be in transition at Blue Cross PPO, we
apologize to our Blue Cross patients for the confusion. Dr. Lee
on the other hand has always been contracted with Blue Cross PPO for
Surgery.

We continue to vamp up our skin aesthetics component with the Prescribed
Solutions Line of skin care. We start by carrying a new fat &

called:
Body of
Knowledge Slimming and Contouring Cream. It contains a proliposome
composite of Lecithin, Escin, Caffeine, Butcherbroom, Tripeptide-3 & Tea-hydroiodide
which aid lipolysis. This is by no means a substitute for liposuction.
Can be used like Nectifirm. Article on the web:
