Services
Established in 1978, The Associates in Plastic Surgery has been serving Baton Rouge for almost 40 years. Our doctors have over 50 combined years of compassionate care experience, and we are one of the largest plastic surgery groups in Louisiana. Associates in Plastic Surgery was founded on a philosophy of providing the highest standard of quality in patient care.
Our medical group was founded in 1978 when Dr. Charles Gruenwald, Jr. and Dr. Michael Teague formed their initial partnership following completion of their plastic surgery residencies in Salt Lake City, Utah. The two partners opened their practice in Baton Rouge and were actively involved in providing a full range of reconstructive and cosmetic surgery services to patients throughout the area.
I highly recommend Dr. Cox and his staff! He has given me back the confidence I once had. I'm 42 and had droopy eyelids; it had gotten to the point I did not want to look at myself in the mirror. After my eyelift, there was such a dramatic yet subtle change, which was exactly what I wanted. He is a truly gifted surgeon, as well as a kind, patient, and humble gentleman.
I cannot believe these reviews. I am a patient of Dr. John Dean. I had a breast reduction 5 weeks ago and it is totally awesome! 2 years ago I also had a tummy tuck and my stomach is flat as a board to this day. I am a 50 year old wife, mother of 3, and grandmother. The staff there are so professional.
Dr. Cox is a 1987 graduate of the University of Tennessee School of Medicine. He completed general surgery training at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson, Mississippi. He trained in plastic surgery at the Indiana University Hospital in Indianapolis, Indiana, serving as chief resident in 1993-94.

Originally my review was pleased until I was hospitalized as a result of an infection caused by the surgery. I had to undergo a second surgery to clear it as well as remove a blood clot that was originally told to me as a hematoma that would "absorb itself." The reduction surgery I asked Dr. Dean for was supposed to be the best thing I'd ever done. Now, I can't think of anything else I regret more.

I can’t believe that I forgot to post my review about Dr Gary Cox and the staff at Associates in Plastic Surgery. Dr Cox and his staff were so kind and knowledgeable when answering my questions about Breast Augmentation! He gave me honest advice about what size implant and which brand would work for me. I’m pleased to say that I followed his advice and two years later I have no COMPLAINTS!

Dr.Jenna Bourgeois was a wonderful doctor from my experience getting a breast augmentation. She’s so kind, professional, and will help you achieve the desired look you are wanting. She called me hours after I got home to check up on me & her staff is wonderful as well and ensured I had the best of care. The surgery day was so calm and I couldn’t have asked for better care from her team. She is also opening up a new practice in the beginning of July so I encourage you to look into that for all your cosmetic needs. Amazing surgeon & human all around!

VETERANS BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IF I COULD GIVE ZERO STARS I WOULD.
I am a veteran with an issue that the V.A has approved to treat. Associates in plastic surgery is a VA authorized facility. Veterans do not BOTHER with this place. They will give you the run around and deny you care. They are not about helping veterans. I have tried to call the office manager to clear the issue,- NO ANSWER, tried to call the nurse- NO ANSWER, tried to call their insurance person-NO ANSWER. Anyone who is a veteran that deals with community care knows how long and hard it is to get an authorization to be treated

Dr Freel is the best doctor that I have come in contact with. He’s staff is all very nice and accommodating. Dr Freel has never made feel like he was rushing, he took his time listened to my concerns and together we decided what would be best for me. I had a tummy tuck, replaced my breast implants and had liposuction done .
