Who Is Dr.STITCH?
Dr.STITCH is the on-call injury care service of NYPS Group. Our service connects you with an experienced plastic surgeon, not a long wait in a crowded ER.
Why does that matter? Plastic surgeons are trained in suturing techniques that help reduce the appearance of scars. That training is especially valuable for cuts on the face, hands, and other visible areas. No one can guarantee a scar-free result. Our goal is careful, expert repair that gives your skin the best chance to heal well.
Dr.STITCH cares for the whole family, from toddlers to seniors. Our STITCH Stories share experiences from patients as young as 1 year old.
Backed by New York Plastic Surgical Group
Every Dr.STITCH surgeon is part of NYPS Group. Here is the experience behind the group:
- Caring for patients since 1948
- 20+ experienced plastic surgeons across the group
- 200+ years of combined surgical experience
- More than half a million patients treated by NYPS Group
How Does Dr.STITCH Work?
Getting care from Dr.STITCH takes three steps. Timing matters with many injuries. Wounds that need closure are often best treated within 6 to 8 hours, since infection risk rises over time.
For a life-threatening injury, call 911 first. Dr.STITCH provides plastic surgery care and does not replace the ER for life-threatening trauma. See how Dr.STITCH works.

What Does Dr.STITCH Treat?
Our plastic surgeons treat everyday injuries for patients of all ages. Common reasons families call Dr.STITCH include the following.
-
LacerationsDeep or jagged cuts from kitchen knives, power tools, or falls may need stitches. A cut deep enough to show the fatty tissue under the skin needs prompt medical care. Our surgeons use plastic surgery suturing techniques designed to minimize the appearance of scars. Learn about laceration repair.
-
BurnsHot water, curling irons, ovens, and campfires can all cause serious burns. We treat burns of all severities, with a focus on preventing infection and minimizing scarring. Explore burn treatment and care.
-
Complex WoundsA bigger accident can cause a deeper injury that needs more than simple stitches. Our surgeons bring reconstructive expertise to wounds that need extra care to heal properly. Read about complex wound care.
-
Facial TraumaThe face is delicate and highly visible, so expert repair matters. Our surgeons treat facial injuries in children and adults, from cuts along the jaw to broken noses. Learn about facial trauma care.
-
Hand InjuriesYour hands do everything, so keeping them working matters. Our group includes hand and microsurgery specialists who treat complex hand and wrist injuries, including nerve repair. See hand injury treatment.
After treatment, our post-procedure care guide covers wound care and follow-up visits. Our Scar Cream is also available as a recovery aid.
