Q: What are you board certified in? A: Plastic Surgery

Patients seeking cosmetic surgery from a plastic surgeon should realize that many other types of licensed physicians perform cosmetic procedures, even surgical procedures. In addition to reputation and recommendations from your trusted physicians, you may want to confirm that the doctor you plan to see is board certified in plastic surgery.

The American Board of Medical Specialties (http://www.abms.org/) is our nation's most respected and established organization that oversees board certification. It only approves 24 medical specialty boards. There are hundreds of additional organizations that issue "board certifications" without meeting to high standards of the ABMS. Patients can check their prospective doctor on the ABMS website.

“Any doctor who has graduated from medical school, fulfilled residency requirements, and has been licensed by the state in which he or she practices, can set up an office and practice medicine, even in a specialty for which he or she has not trained,” Dr. Weiss said. “An ABMS Member Board certified doctor ––has participated in a voluntary training and assessment process that demonstrates knowledge and skill in their chosen specialty/subspecialty beyond the basic licensing requirements.” To read the full article, check

O.K. to Question Your Surgeon

Since the unfortunate death of Kanye West's mother, the media is catching on. We have advised patients to ask about cosmetic surgeon credentials and experience for a long time. The Wall Street Journal (Jan 9, 2008) ran an article "Learning to Ask Tough Questions Of Your Surgeon," emphasizing the American College of Surgeon's new patient's guidebook. (http://www.facs.org/)

In plastic surgery you can confirm board certification through http://www.abms.org/ (the American Board of Medical Specialties). We are happy to discuss our experience with patients. Just ask.
