Employee Spotlight: Life as a Working Mom with Office Manager Polly Bernacki

Today, Ohio Plastic Surgery Specialists is recognized as a premiere destination for cosmetic surgery and other aesthetic treatments in Central Ohio. From the expertise of Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Walter Bernacki to a reputation for exceptional patient care, many factors have contributed to the practice’s success over the years. High among these stands the contributions of Office Manager Polly Bernacki, whose hard work and dedication exemplifies the qualities of successful working mothers everywhere.

Fresh out of plastic surgery training, Dr. Bernacki received offers to join various medical groups thanks to connections with doctors in the community. Still, none of these opportunities seemed to be a perfect fit. In the end, he and his wife Polly decided to establish their own plastic surgery practice in their native Columbus. Though it represented the fulfilment of a dream, this decision would also come with challenges.

The Bernackis knew that budgets would be tight while launching their new venture. With Polly’s previous experience as an employee of a major health insurance provider, it was proposed that she take on office management duties in the newly established practice. In addition to her expertise, her personal investment in the business’s success would be unmatched. But the choice to take on this key position could not be taken lightly, as the couple also had a newborn daughter to care for. After some encouragement from her parents, Polly decided to tackle the office manager role while balancing the demands of first-time motherhood.

“When we were just getting started, there was a lot of pride, but also a fear of the unknown,” Polly explains. “And lots of excitement.”

Polly and Dr. Bernacki faced incredible pressure as they juggled the responsibilities of parenthood with launching a business. Still, they knew their vision could be achieved through hard work and dedication. Needless to say, their determination paid off and Ohio Plastic Surgery Specialists has grown into one of the most successful plastic surgery practices in the region. Along the way, Polly became a pro at tackling the demands of work and motherhood head on.

An average day for the working mom begins with getting her son ready for school before heading into the office. As the Office Manager, she oversees all employees, gets hands-on with hiring and employee development, marketing coordination, financial duties, and strategic business decisions related to the adoption of cutting-edge aesthetic treatments and technologies to help the practice grow. Overall, Polly’s favorite part of the job is seeing patients and the joy that the practice provides through their services.

“Putting our patients first is our mission,” she says. “I love being in the office on patient days and making a difference in people’s quality of life.”

Polly’s journey has not been without its share of obstacles. A recent health scare, discovering a significant blockage in her heart, briefly interrupted her relentless pace. Yet she quickly bounced back, returning to her duties with renewed determination.

“Life throws you curveballs sometimes that you don’t expect. It helps to surround yourself with the right people,” she says. “Our staff didn’t skip a beat while I was gone.”

When not at work, Polly likes to travel and entertain friends at the family home. She maintains an active and healthy lifestyle, including a newfound love for the sport Pickleball. She and Dr. Bernacki also enjoy attending plastic surgery conventions to stay up to date with the latest industry developments. Above all, Polly treasures spending as much time as possible with her children and other family members. In her view, these relationships have been the cornerstone of Ohio Plastic Surgery Specialists’ success.

“It’s not easy. It’s definitely been a lot of blood, sweat and tears,” she says of her work at the office. “You have to prioritize, and you can’t be afraid to ask for help. Our extended family has been a big part of our success. They’re always there for us.”

These days, there’s much for the Bernacki family to celebrate, from their daughter’s college graduation, their son thriving in sports, Polly’s recovery from her heart episode to the practice prospering like never before. Congratulations to Polly for all of her achievements both at work and at home, and for showing that balance in life really is possible.
