Not a Hospital. Not a Shared Suite. A Dedicated Surgical Facility.
Most plastic surgery in the United States is performed in a hospital operating room, a shared ambulatory surgery center, or a small in-office procedure room. Each makes compromises. The SHARP Surgery Center is a single-specialty facility designed around one practice, one surgeon's specifications, and one standard of care.

Built to the Standard the Procedures Require
9,500 Square Feet
Purpose-sized for the volume and complexity of procedures Dr. Whitfield performs. Four full operating rooms, dedicated pre-operative preparation suites, private post-operative recovery areas, and a patient reception designed to the standard of a luxury hospitality environment.
4 Operating Rooms
Each OR is equipped for the full range of procedures: explant surgery, en bloc capsulectomy, fat transfer, breast lift, breast reduction, tuberous breast correction, holistic mommy makeover, BodyTite, Morpheus8, and the No-Cut Facelift. Four rooms means complex cases get the time they need without compromising other patients.

The Reception Experience
Designed to a hospitality standard — the Ritz Carlton, not a physician's waiting room. The environment communicates what the surgical experience will be: unhurried, private, attentive, and operating at a level that matches the expertise of the surgeon.
The SHARP Method — Built Into Every Phase
Before Surgery
SHARP preparation begins weeks before your procedure. Pre-operative appointments, lab work, and preparation protocol are coordinated through the surgery center, aligned with your surgical date, and managed by a team that knows your full SHARP protocol.
Day of Surgery
Your SHARP supplement protocol is reviewed at pre-operative check-in. The anesthesia team is briefed on your preparation status. Your surgical plan accounts for the tissue environment your SHARP preparation has created.
After Surgery
SHARP recovery begins in the post-operative suite, not when you get home. The nursing team initiates the post-operative phase of your protocol before discharge. Your discharge instructions include your specific SHARP recovery steps.
What to Expect on Your Day of Surgery
Most procedures are performed as outpatient surgery — patients are discharged the same day. Complex cases and out-of-area patients who prefer overnight support can be accommodated through recovery coordination services.
