PATRICIA ARLEDGE, MD

I've been practicing reconstructive and cosmetic surgery in Lubbock since 2000. I earned my Doctorate of Medicine at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, completed my residency at the University of Missouri Hospital and Clinics, and finished a microsurgical fellowship before coming home to West Texas. Surgery taught me that the best outcomes start with listening, so I work with every patient as a partner and learn what you envision before we ever talk about a plan. That's the perspective I bring to The Spa by Sheena as medical director: a surgeon's eye on every treatment plan and a medical layer behind every injectable service. Medicine has also taken me far beyond Lubbock. I've traveled to Iraq with a medical education team and to Haiti after the 2010 earthquake, and those trips still remind me why I chose this work: helping people feel whole, confident, and like themselves.
