Website Development by Dr. Calvin Lee

Collection of obscure surgical artistry websites - in reverse chronological order of creation

• 12/7/07 as an exercise in Search Engine Optimization (SEO).  I created lists of search terms (key words) related to Modesto, Plastic Surgery, and Breast Augmentation.  The purpose of these web pages?  This may help others interested in SEO topics, and these lists would help myself when I later optimize our pages for these search terms.  SEO is an ongoing process and in the world of cosmetics and aesthetics, the competition for great placement, especially in google and yahoo is exciting.
• 12/9/07 in the same vein as the above SEO exercise, I've added Turlock, San Ramon, Danville, Tummy Tuck, Face Lift, Modesto Spa

Cutera IPL

The purpose of Surgical Artistry News is to allow our patients and friends to see what's new at our office and our lives.
