About Us

Our Philosophy

At Dr. Felice's Youthful Images, it is our philosophy that each patient is a unique individual and should be treated as such. For nearly 20 years it has been our goal to deliver to our patients the safest, most effective cosmetic treatments available. In the process of achieving this goal, the practice expanded and has become a state of the art comprehensive cosmetic center, mostly due to the unique needs of our patients.

Clinical skincare and nutritional supplements have become cornerstones of the practice, by helping patients of all ages and skin types, look and feel their best every day.

As laser technology became available in the early 1990s, it became clear these advances would help to treat patients troubled by unwanted hair, spider veins, sun damage and acne.

For those individuals desiring surgical enhancements, our desire has been to offer more that the average surgical experience. Privacy and personalized care are two areas our patients value highly. For this reason in 1996 we added a AAAASF accredited operating and recovery room suite. The patient care given by our highly trained and certified operating room team is unparalleled. By providing our own on site surgical suite, you can be assured that all patients are treated with the dignity and respect they deserve, while maintaining their privacy. Post operatively, lymphatic drainage massages are performed by a licensed massage therapist to reduce swelling and promote recovery.

We are always researching new and innovative treatments. Only after careful consideration for effectiveness and patient safety will a treatment or product be offered by Youthful Images.

It is our promise to every patient that we will continue to meet their needs and provide the highest level of care available.

About Dr. Felice

Patrick R. Felice, M.D. established his practice of plastic surgery in July, 1990 in Hartford with only one employee. At that time his focus was on cosmetic, reconstructive and hand surgery. Over the years Dr. Felice has made staying up-to-date on the latest developments in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery his top priority. Now specializing in cosmetic surgery, he performs a variety of procedures including liposuction, facelifts, breast augmentation, breast lifts, eyelid-lifts, nose reshaping, laser surgery, botox injections and spider vein treatments. Furthermore, Dr. Felice has been actively involved in training his peers nationally in cosmetic surgery and laser techniques.

Since 1991, the practice has moved to Bloomfield and evolved as Youthful Images to include laser surgery and clinical skin care services including BioMedic skin care, laser hair removal, and a state licensed in-office surgical facility to ensure the comfort and privacy of his patients. Additionally, Dr. Felice now employs a complete certified staff of highly qualified professionals.

Youthful Images was created in order to provide the highest standard of care possible in cosmetic surgery. From the very first phone call to the consultation, an individual is treated with the greatest amount of attention and the highest degree of professionalism. Dr. Felice has always been committed to the process of education. We are all individuals and all have individual needs. Those needs can only be met with a process that allows trust and comfort with Dr. Felice and the staff. This process is enhanced during the consultation process by listening to the individual and then creating a plan that will accomplish their desired goals.

Earning his B.A. in Biology at West Virginia University in 1976, Dr. Felice went on to graduate from the West Virginia University Medical School in 1983. He moved to the Hartford area where he performed his general surgery residency at the University of Connecticut in Farmington until 1988. Dr. Felice earned his Board Certification from the American Board of Surgery in 1989 while completing his training in plastic and reconstructive surgery at the Medical College of Ohio in Toledo. In 1995 he earned his board certification in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and was awarded Diplomat Status by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Presently, Dr. Felice maintains active privileges at Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center, Health South Surgery Center, and the University of Connecticut where he is an Associate Clinical Professor.

Dr. Felice has been married for over thirty years and has two daughters and a son.

Our Office and Staff

At Dr. Felice's Youthful Images, the focus of the practice has always been the patient. For that reason, we are a complete cosmetic center that caters to a wide variety of patient needs, both in plastic surgery and non-surgical cosmetic procedures.

As well as providing a quality care and a variety of procedures for our patients, our office is also designed to have a comfortable, professional, and friendly atmosphere.

In order to give highest quality of care, the Staff of Dr. Felice's Youthful Images are highly qualified professionals and have had extensive education and training by Dr. Felice in the field of plastic surgery.

Our Operating Facility and Why you should settle for nothing less

Dr. Felice's Youthful Images operating room facility has been accredited by the American Association of Ambulatory Facilities (AAAASF) since 2002. AAAASF certifications is recognized as the gold standard, providing evidence that a facility has exceeded industry standards for patient care and safety.

In spring of 2007, the state of Connecticut mandated that all ambulatory surgery centers must be licensed, as well as certified. In June 2007, Dr. Felice's Youthful Images was proudly awarded a Connecticut state license to operate as a licensed ambulatory surgery center (license #0309). The addition of state licensure adds yet another level of safety specifications to ensure patients receive the highest quality patient care.

AAAASF certified and state licensed facilities are rigorously inspected and evaluated annually by both governing bodies. Members of the operating room staff must be board certified and demonstrate exceptional skill and knowledge. In addition, AAAASF and the state of Connecticut require surgeons be board certified in a surgical specialty recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties. This is an important distinction from other governing bodies that do not require such high standards. Meeting these extensive care standards assures patients of our commitment to excellence.

Dr. Felice's Youthful Images is also a proud member of the Connecticut Association of Ambulatory Surgery Centers, as well as an active member of the Ambulatory Surgery Center Patient Safety Organization. Both organizations review patient safety data quarterly. This data aids in the ongoing development of new protocols and procedures, which are used to maintain our unparalleled level of excellence and safety.

Nancy Russo, RN, BSN, NE-BC Clinical Administrator
	Nancy graduated from Barry University in Miami, Florida. She joined Dr. Felice's Youthful Images in 1997 as clinical administrator, prior to which her background had been in oncology and nurse consulting. She has been a board certified nursing administrator since 1998 and a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery Nurses, The CT Association of Ambulatory Surgery Centers/Patient Safety Organization as well as the National Association of Professional Women. Nancy is responsible for patient education, development and implementation of clinical protocols and procedures, as well as being an active member of the operating room team. One of her main roles is overseeing patient care and assisting patients through the surgical process. By answering questions and providing all the necessary information needed to make an informed decision, patients can then determine if plastic surgery is right for them. Every surgical patient meets with Nancy preoperatively, so she can further explain the procedure, review preparation for surgery, as well as what to expect postoperatively. In the operating room Nancy's role is to ensure the highest level of care is maintained throughout both the surgical and recovery periods. Her follow up continues after discharge, where she speaks to every surgical patient the first night after their surgery to answer question, review postoperative care or just offer reassurance. Patients can feel comfortable contacting Nancy with questions or concerns they may have regarding their procedure. This attention to patient care is what we feel sets Youthful Images apart from other practices.
