Dr. Maurice M. Vick
Dr. Maurice Vick is a graduate of Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, and LSU Medical School, New Orleans, where he graduated at the top of his class. He completed a surgical specialty residency at Charity Hospital in New Orleans, LA, and was board certified*. During his educational career, he was recognized by AOA, the prestigious National Medical Honor Society, for his academic accomplishments. He was also honored by LSU Medical School at his graduation, where he was named the most outstanding member of his class. He was awarded a National Heart Institute fellowship and was chief of his specialty at two U.S. Public Heath Service Hospitals. Dr. Vick practiced as a surgical specialist for twenty years in the Baton Rouge area. During that time he helped bring many cutting-edge technologies to our area from his post-graduate training in Germany and Denmark, including lithotripsy, and prostatic seed implantation (Brachytherapy).
Subsequently, Dr. Vick became interested in aesthetic medicine. He met and became friends with some of the world's leaders in this dynamic new field. Under their tutorship, he learned many new techniques — some so new they are unknown to many physicians practicing this new specialty. Dr. Vick regularly attends regional and international meetings to share knowledge with his contemporaries and stay on top of new developments in aesthetic medicine.
He returned to Baton Rouge two years ago, bringing with him new innovative techniques he learned in the South Beach area. He has equipped his office with the latest and most effective medical equipment, including a Sciton Laser — the first in the region. This laser offers the widest array of aesthetic and surgical procedures available on a single laser system.
He also recently acquired the area's only Zeltiq CoolSculpting machine, the new, non-invasive, no-downtime way to reduce fat. CoolSculpting is used to treat the stubborn lumps, bumps and bulges that are difficult or impossible to remove by exercise and diet alone.
Dr. Vick also has the area’s only Dermasonic machine, which is used to treat cellulite and to smooth out lumps that may appear after liposuction. This is a very popular procedure in Europe and California, especially Beverly Hills, where Dr. Vick and Charlotte have trained. The Dermasonic machine has also been featured recently on "The Doctors" TV program, being demonstrated by their trainer Lynn Banfi.
Another new addition to the Baton Rouge area is Dr. Vick's ClearToe Laser treatment for nail fungus disease. The ClearToe Laser can clear nail fungal infections in up to 80% of patients, without having to resort to potentially toxic oral medications.
Dr. Vick's motto is "don't just age gracefully — fight it all the way." He personally follows this advice, and endeavors to assist his many patients in doing likewise.
