Dr. Rian A. Maercks has built a strong reputation as a surgeon who puts his patients first. Every individual who walks through his doors can expect a consultation with Dr. Maercks himself, who works hard to tailor the perfect procedure plan for each of his patients. Spearheaded by Dr. Maercks himself, The Maercks Institute is passionate about its patients and the way they feel about their appearance, so a prospective patient can anticipate for all of their wants and needs to be heard. Dr. Maercks took a break to discuss to Haute Beauty about what he loves about Miami.
