Authors
One writer researches, drafts, and keeps the guides on this site current.
Naomi Foster is a health writer and former registered nurse who focuses on the financial side of elective procedures. Before writing full time she worked bedside in post-surgical and recovery units, which is where her interest in what patients actually end up paying, beyond the number a surgeon first quotes, started. She is not a plastic surgeon and does not provide medical advice. Her role here is to research published pricing data and clinical guidance and explain it in plain language, then flag anything that needs a specialist's sign-off before it goes live. Every clinical claim she writes is checked against the process described on our editorial standards page before publication.
