The American Board of Surgery is an independent, nonprofit organization to assess the qualifications of Surgeons.
A Board Certified Surgeon is a Physician in the field of surgery whom proceeds in a voluntary process to meet a defined standard of education and training. Obtaining a medical license sets the minimum competency requirements to diagnose and treat patients, it is not specialty specific. Board Certification demonstrates a physician’s exceptional expertise in a particular specialty and/or subspecialty of medical practice. Not all surgeons are board certified. Confirming your surgeon is certified serves as a warrant for the type of training your surgeon has received.
On a specific specialty such as plastic surgery, American Board of Plastic Surgery focuses on the safety and ethics of a plastic surgeons extensive knowledge; to represent the specialty with the highest standards. Patients seeking such procedures being cosmetic or medically necessary most likely have specific needs or desires. Doing your homework before choosing your plastic surgeon is most important. If you are planning on undergoing plastic surgery, the most important aspect is your health and safety. Make well informed decisions even before deciding if plastic surgery is the right choice for you.
