Our Staff

If you're evaluating cosmetic surgeons, New York certainly has many to consider. No doubt you have discovered that already! One factor to take into account is the quality of your prospective plastic surgeon's staff. Each member plays a very key role in your comfort and safety – indeed, a great team can make the difference between a satisfactory experience and one that's exciting, enjoyable and rewarding.

We believe our staff is the finest of any cosmetic surgeon in New York. Not only is each individual an experienced professional, each one is warm and caring as well. Perhaps the aspect of the team that's most unusual is how long the group has been together. Patients benefit from the way the team works together seamlessly and supports each other.

Meet our staff!

Susan Monaghan, R.N., Surgical Assistant

Susan is a licensed Registered Nurse and works alongside Dr. Jacobs in the operating room.  She has an extensive background in various demanding hospital settings, including orthopedics and ENT surgery.

Susan has been assisting Dr. Jacobs since 2009.  She is glad to bring her hospital training to the cosmetic surgery environment. 

She says she "loves working in a professional, private office setting with a friendly and knowledgeable team.  I'm very happy to be a part of Dr. Jacobs' team."

David Calvello, M.D., Anesthesiologist

A native New Yorker, Dr. Calvello is a fully licensed Medical Doctor as well as an anesthesiologist.  He received his M.D. from New York Medical College in 1985, then trained at St. Barnabas Medical College in New Jersey, Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City and Brookdale University Hospital and Medical Center in Brooklyn.  He interviews each patient the morning of surgery, then stays with them through the entire surgical process including their recovery.  He understands how some people may be anxious about a surgical procedure, having been one of Dr. Jacobs' patients himself.

Dr. Calvello has specialized in anesthesia for plastic surgery for 25 years and has worked with Dr. Jacobs almost the entire time.  They have done thousands of cases together, and he believes patients benefit tremendously from the team's preference for sedation anesthesia over general anesthesia.  "They wake up quickly and experience much less 'hangover,'" he says.  "Patients go home awake and comfortable."

Cathy Corrigan, Patient Coordinator and Office Manager

Cathy was born and raised in Ireland. She has worked in the medical field for 12 years with dermatologists and plastic surgeons.  She was a licensed aesthetician for five years. 

Cathy is the first person patients speak with when they contact the practice to schedule appointments. She's adept at answering patients' questions and facilitating patient interactions with Dr. Jacobs and Jennifer.

Cathy has worked for Dr. Jacobs since 2003.  She enjoys working with patients through their entire surgical experience. She says, "I try to make every patient feel at ease and to let them know that they have come to the best place for their procedure." Cathy strives to give each patient personal and individual attention.
