These lists were developed as the result of a national survey conducted during March and April of 2023, which queried over 2,000 industry experts ranging from physicians, surgeons, plastic surgery clinic managers, and health care professionals working in plastic surgery. Based on the results of this survey, a score was calculated for each surgeon based on the number of recommendations, a quality assessment, and relevant certifications and background of the candidates.
The results were then compiled and the top 30 plastic surgeons from each category were ranked and listed by their scores, with the remaining candidates being listed alphabetically. Over 8,400 were collected, reviewed, and analyzed to help produce the score for each procedure.
“Individual facial analysis is one of the most important steps in providing the highest quality outcomes for facelift patients,” says Dr. Rohrich, who writes and lectures extensively on facelift surgery. “Every person ages differently and each component of a facelift must be tailored to the patient’s specific situation and their unique facial features and anatomy. We must take into account not only that the face must look natural and youthful, but also how it looks after the patient heals and how the results will age along with the person.”
According to Dr. Rohrich, facelift outcomes tend to be better when they are performed as a “lift and fill” facelift combined with fat augmentation to address fat atrophy. The use of science based skin care, including daily applications of Retin-A, sun avoidance, and smoking cessation, help to deliver improved and longer lasting results. In addition to making sure to address the neck area during a facelift, better results have also been associated with performing additional complementary procedures such as eyelid surgery and skin resurfacing.
“I’m extremely honored to have my work in facelift surgery recognized by Newsweek in this extensive peer reviewed process,” says Dr. Rohrich. “These types of awards are valuable tools that can help guide patients toward well qualified facelift surgeons as surgeon selection is the single most important factor for ensuring a successful outcome in plastic surgery.”

Accordingly, Schwartz Law Firm is thrilled to announce that Parker J. Ryan, an undergraduate student attending Louisiana State University, has been named the Perseverance Scholarship winner for Fall 2023.
ORLAND PARK, Ill., Aug. 29, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The esteemed Schwartz Law Firm offers a $1,000 Perseverance Scholarship to prospective or current college students who have overcome severe medical ailments at some point in their life. This excellent opportunity allows college students to set themselves apart from their peers as they continue their academic journey.
Accordingly, Schwartz Law Firm is thrilled to announce that Parker J. Ryan, an undergraduate student attending Louisiana State University, has been named the Perseverance Scholarship winner for Fall 2023. As a sophomore in high school, Parker was stricken with a deadly disease called Ewing’s Sarcoma, an aggressive cancer with a dismal survival rate. As Parker came to terms with his situation, he struggled with the adverse effects of chemotherapy as well as mental health challenges.
While it would have been understandable for Parker to lose hope as his situation became increasingly difficult, this strong-minded young man decided to not only face his disease but refuse to let it slow him down. A testament to his grit and determination, Parker worked diligently during this time of intense strife to stay on top of his school work, utilizing online class capabilities to ensure he did not fall behind with his studies.
Today, Parker has not only overcome his illness but has set his sights on a new goal: to become a physician. Inspired by what he has gone through, Parker has found that anything is possible through discipline and mental toughness.
Parker is an exemplary reminder of what can be achieved even in the most challenging of circumstances. Schwartz Injury Law is honored to bestow our Perservance Scholarship to Parker. We believe that through this scholarship, Parker can continue to work to make his occupational goals a reality.

Health systems and integrated BH service providers turn to NeuroFlow platform to address the rising behavioral health risk in populations through ‘CoCM 2.0’
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 29, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — NeuroFlow, the market leading behavioral health SaaS platform, has announced a new tech-enabled approach to psychiatric collaborative care (CoCM), ‘CoCM 2.0,’ that combines the company’s AI-driven analytics, care collaboration enablement, and enterprise consumer-grade activation. NeuroFlow’s ‘CoCM 2.0’ approach builds on the traditional model’s foundational registry requirement with three key advancements that transform how organizations deliver care and capture value:
Whole population screening & digital care – NeuroFlow’s patient activation and engagement tools offer screening and digital care at scale, making it easy to fill caseloads with CoCM-eligible patients and offer self-directed support to reduce unnecessary utilization of services by directing patients to the right care faster
CoCM digital care companion – NeuroFlow’s digital patient experience acts as a care extender between appointments for patients enrolled in CoCM, improving appointment productivity and improving time to remission
Post-graduation monitoring – Support for patients’ BH shouldn’t end when they graduate from the CoCM program. NeuroFlow monitors well-being after graduation, offering ongoing visibility for care teams and interventions to prevent deterioration
NeuroFlow’s health system customers are seeing results with improved outcomes while increasing revenue opportunities through the delivery of evidence-based care. For example, customers typically see a 17-23% increase in early identification of BH patients. The automated population risk stratification in combination with the ability to integrate into care management and clinical workflows increases caseload capacity by nearly 36-40% annually. All of this is done while achieving a 90% satisfaction rate among care teams, supporting reduction in clinical burnout. Overall, this increases the speed to value for CoCM programs.
Nearly 30 years ago, the collaborative care model (CoCM) was introduced by leading researchers at the University of Washington. Rather than relying upon traditional mental health referrals, CoCM enables a holistic team-based approach to treating common mental health conditions by integrating behavioral health professionals into the care team, while simultaneously increasing the confidence and competence of physical health providers in treating these conditions. Despite dozens of studies and peer reviewed research supporting the model, adoption remained low in the decades that followed; it was difficult to ramp up collaborative care programs quickly and at scale, and the industry lacked sufficient financial incentive to address behavioral health.
However, widespread adoption of collaborative care in clinical settings is now accelerating across the industry thanks to a combination of improved technologies, additional reimbursement codes, and a collective shift towards value-based care.
Today, NeuroFlow’s category-leading platform is being adopted by a wide range of organizations to manage patient caseloads in various integrated care models at increased scale and efficiency. NeuroFlow is used by evolvedMD, Magellan Healthcare, Emory Health,Ascension, Novant Health, and ACOs like Atlantic Health to support, among other initiatives, the execution of their collaborative care programs and services.
“The combination of NeuroFlow’s intuitive registry for care managers and its engagement tools for patients gives our team critical visibility into our patients’ wellbeing, helping make each interaction more meaningful and ensuring every patient feels supported throughout their care journey,” notes evolvedMD Co-CEO Erik Osland.
In a recent survey, 70% of surveyed participating patients reported that NeuroFlow supported their mental health in between appointments with their provider, and surveyed providers reported improved continuity of care and improvements in patients’ physical health after implementation of NeuroFlow.
“Providers are purposeful with their time and resources, and we wanted to develop a way to reduce the cognitive load they face on a daily basis,” said NeuroFlow Chief Medical Officer Tom Zaubler, MD, MPH. “I’ve explored in depth the impact CoCM can have from my time on the faculty at the University of Washington to my work at enterprise health systems spanning nearly three decades. CoCM can now scale and reach its full potential with NeuroFlow’s suite of technology products and services.”
About NeuroFlow
NeuroFlow provides the technology infrastructure that leading healthcare organizations need to deliver effective and scalable integrated programs that improve access to behavioral healthcare and lower costs. Powered by proof and clinical expertise, NeuroFlow’s next-generation software enables programs to bridge the gap between physical and mental health with proven solutions for psychiatric collaborative care, suicide prevention, and more.
