New Tendenci(R)-Powered Site Is a Valuable Information Resource for Patient Community

CINCINNATI, August 03, 2006 -- The Plastic Surgery Group has done an extreme makeover of its Web site (www.theplasticsurgerygroup.com) to make it easier for prospective patients to assess their options. The practice, which has locations in Cincinnati and Kentucky, has selected Tendenci (www.tendenci.com) to power its Web properties and maximize its efforts to connect with the patient community.

Tendenci is a Web-based software application that powers highly interactive marketing Web sites. It is developed and marketed by Houston-based Schipul - The Web Marketing Company (www.schipul.com), a leading worldwide provider of Web marketing solutions.

"Our motto is, ''Looking your best never felt so great,'' so it was important that Tendenci makes it easy for Web users to see for themselves how surgical and non-surgical procedures can transform their lives," said Stephanie Butler, patient education and marketing coordinator with The Plastic Surgery Group. "We''re proud to have created one of the most comprehensive Web sites dealing with plastic surgery."

The new Web site provides The Plastic Surgery Group with unique medical practice-building capabilities, including the ability to easily post before-and-after photographs, manage prospective patient contact forms and develop and distribute electronic newsletters. It also provides the ability to manage site content and post research articles and news releases.

"We applaud The Plastic Surgery Group for recognizing that more patients are using the Web to narrow their selections prior to ever contacting a medical practice," said Ed Schipul, president and CEO of Schipul - The Web Marketing Company. "Tendenci will ensure that The Plastic Surgery Group doesn''t miss valuable opportunities to help improve the lives of patients in and around the Greater Cincinnati area."

The Plastic Surgery Group is a partnership of six board-certified plastic surgeons, including Dr. Michael Columbus, Dr. Robert Hummel, Dr. Gene Ireland, Dr. Lawrence Kurtzman, Dr. Michael Leadbetter and Dr. Richard Williams. Its locations include 1 Plastic Surgery Plaza, 4850 Red Bank Expressway in Cincinnati and Chapel Place II, 340 Thomas More Parkway in Crestview Hills, Ky.
