“I chose to be certified by the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery because it’s the only certifying board that qualifies surgeons in the art and science of cosmetic surgery specifically.”
“Board certification is a standard that patients can have confidence in. You know that they’ve been well-trained, they’ve been evaluated by their peers, and they’ve passed enough tests to be able to prove that they can comfortably and safely do your operation. I think it’s the standard that the public deserves.”
“Board certification by the ABCS really gives me several things. One is the recognition that I have a certain level of training and experience, and also the recognition by my patients that we are committed to cosmetic surgery and we are committed to safety.”
