Yes! She is board-certified by The American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Board members of the ASPS are trained SPECIFICALLY IN PLASTIC SURGERY. They operate only in accredited medical facilities and hospitals. Members adhere to a strict code of ethics and fulfill continuing education requirements, including patient safety techniques. Unfortunately, many physicians call themselves board certified, but there are many different kinds of boards. The American Board of Plastic Surgery or the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada are the boards that require physicians to pass comprehensive oral and written exams as well as a requirement to have graduated from an accredited medical school. Members also complete a minimum of five years of surgical training following medical school, including an accredited plastic surgery residency program. Plastic surgeons are trained to perform both cosmetic and reconstructive procedures.
