Independent plastic surgeons deserve the same caliber of operational expertise that built the platforms now trying to acquire them. That is precisely what Hopkins Aesthetic Advisors delivers.
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 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.
Hopkins Aesthetic Advisors exists to give independent plastic surgeons access to the kind of operational and strategic expertise that has historically lived only inside the large platforms — without having to give up what you've built to get it. I work with a carefully selected group of practices at any given time, going deep rather than broad, delivering the kind of impact that moves the needle and lasts.
"She possesses the rare ability to think strategically at the highest executive level while remaining deeply engaged in the day-to-day operational realities."
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.
Every engagement begins with a real conversation — no assumptions, no formula. Services are structured around where you are and where you want to be.
A comprehensive assessment of your practice — financial performance, revenue mix, pricing, staffing, patient flow, and consult conversion. Delivered as a clear, prioritized action plan with immediate wins and a 12-month roadmap you can actually execute.
Ongoing strategic and operational advisory for practices building momentum. Regular check-ins, implementation support, and direct access — covering revenue optimization, team performance, pricing strategy, and operational systems.
For practices opening a second location, launching an ambulatory surgery center, or adding an aesthetics division. Full advisory from concept through accreditation — staffing model, pro forma, vendor selection, and patient acquisition infrastructure.
Preparation for AAAASF, AAAHC, or Joint Commission accreditation — policy and procedure development, mock surveys, staff readiness, and application support. Built on direct experience navigating accreditation at scale across multiple facilities.
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.
For physicians navigating significant decisions — expansion, partnership structures, practice valuation, or positioning for eventual transition. Grounded in firsthand experience on both the operator and advisor side of the industry.
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.
