A Background of Recognized Training and Certification in Plastic Surgery
“Many doctors refer to themselves as facial plastic or cosmetic surgeons without the specialized training that is required for certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. In order to provide my patients with the level of care they expect and deserve, I have attended respected schools, completed specialized residency training, and passed exams to attain board certification in Plastic Surgery. I utilize my training, experience and artistic talent to provide you knowledgeable, up-to-date care that you can trust.”
