NYC docs ditching the white coat for designer suits

I’m a believer in the white coat. Apparently NYC docs are too stylish to care:

Wearing a pricey Italian suit, Paul Lorenc, a Park Avenue plastic surgeon, wields a purple pen, marking up faces, thighs, stomachs, and breasts to show patients where he’ll be cutting and what he’ll be removing; he injects wrinkle-smoothers like Botox and Restylane, and he removes post-operative stitches.

Dr. Lorenc’s uniform generally comprises a dark Canali suit, a bespoke, monogrammed white dress shirt, a silk Versace tie, gold cuff links from Tiffany & Co., and black leather shoes by Bally. Absent from his ensemble: a white lab coat.

In an effort to put their patients at ease – and, in some cases, to show off their fashion sense – many city doctors are hanging up their white jackets.
