Many people thank a boom during the 1960s in Nashville's health care industry for health-realted companies working together and making the Music City their hub. Associated companies reportedly contribute an estimated $38.8 billion-plus and 250,000 jobs annually into the region. In addition to routine health care, residents can receive expert care for specific medical needs as well -- which helps with people's desires to look great at any and all ages.
Don Griffin, M.D., FACS
Dr. Don Griffin is a local, board-certified plastic surgeon committed to helping patients enhance and maintain their own unique beauty. He's the founder of Nashville Cosmetic Surgery, a surgery practice specializing in procedures of the face, breast and body, as well as nonsurgical aesthetic treatments.
"Along with our highly qualified team of providers, we use both surgical and nonsurgical techniques to help our patients achieve the best outcomes with a focus on natural-looking results," he assures.
He says it's an exciting time in the field of aesthetic medicine with so many new technologies available to help address the issues of aging and beauty. "Aging is a normal part of life, but we can decide upon and redefine the concept of 'aging gracefully.' Our job is to cut through the noise in this industry for our patients and provide treatments with proven scientific results and patient safety; it's always my first priority."
Nashville Cosmetic Surgery plastic surgery services are for both men and women. Nonsurgical treatment options at the practice include fillers and laser treatments supported by skilled nurse injectors, laser technicians and aestheticians.
"I was trained in general surgery first and continued training in plastic and reconstructive surgery, and I love what I do. But there are times when surgery isn't appropriate or can't address the issue. I enjoy the process of weaving together a solution that fits each patient. No two patients are exactly alike, so neither are my surgical plans. My goal is always to combine both surgical and nonsurgical treatments to achieve a beautiful and natural-looking outcome for each patient. I appreciate the trust that my patients place in me and my team and I love getting to take part in the journey with each of them," says this careful physician.
Giving back is one of Dr. Griffin's priorities. He volunteers at the Faith Family Medical Clinic, caring for uninsured patients with plastic and reconstructive surgery needs. He’s also a die-hard hockey fan and was the original plastic surgeon for the Nashville Predators for 10 years.
"While there's no one perfect formula for what makes a person beautiful, the concepts of natural, healthy and confident are always part of the equation. Most patients in our practice are seeking subtle and natural improvements to their appearance and that's what we provide. If we've done our job well, you can expect your friends and acquaintances to notice an improvement without knowing exactly what you had done," says Dr. Griffin.

Roger Starner Jones Jr., M.D.
Private, discrete concierge acute medical detox and outpatient psychiatry services are provided by Belle Meade AMP/Nashville Addiction Recovery.
Roger Starner Jones Jr., M.D., is a board-certified emergency and addiction medicine physician who founded this health care company with his business partner, Kevin Malloy, a former Division 1 college athlete and Wall Street hedge fund trader. The two provide a “no judgment zone” in private residences and luxury hotel suites for patients receiving treatment for alcohol or drug addictions, depression, anxiety and other mental health disorders.
“We’re providing advanced medicines, therapies and recovery strategies while adding the power of augmented artificial intelligence and pharmacogenomics to produce a new path forward in spiritual, physical and mental wellness,” says Kevin.
He says individual cases are associated with a spectrum of factors, including pandemic fatigue, mood disorders, seasonal depression, trauma, divorces, untreated post-traumatic stress disorder, bipolar disorder, grief reactions to deaths, substance use disorders, insomnia, gambling issues, sexual addiction, obsessive-compulsive disorder and recreational alcohol use.
Dr. Jones has treated more than 50,000 patients and detoxed more than 1,000 during his career.
“Often, our patients are afraid to ask for help. Many people are reluctant to go to a brick-and-mortar location to detox, and don’t want anyone to know they are struggling,” says Dr. Jones, who adds that their success rate ranges from 80-90% of those treated.
With a goal of customized treatments, he says they provide patients with a dedicated physician to develop a personalized treatment plan for their specific needs. “Patients who seek to manage anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder have the best chance of improvement when they have regular follow-up with the same physician who truly knows their medical history and current medication regimen,” he adds.
They also work with families to coordinate interventions and help convince users that treatment is the right answer.
Their therapy treatments typically last five to 14 days. “Most patients feel better during the first few hours,” says Dr. Jones, who is a graduate of the Addiction Medicine Fellowship in the Department of Psychiatry at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
The practice offers comprehensive mental health evaluations. Other outpatient elements incorporated into their medical services are prescription refills, IV therapy, fitness routines, yoga, music, nutrition, in-home sessions, in-office or telehealth services.
Kevin says every household has its own issues. “The lifestyle of Americans has changed. The party atmosphere starts in high school, ignites in college and continues throughout adulthood. Legalization of marijuana and a ‘rosé all day’ attitude affects Americans in different ways. I believe all people are just one person away from a friend or loved one with addiction.”
