Choosing Your Plastic Surgeon

BOARD-CERTIFIED PLASTIC SURGEON SERVING ORLANDO, WINTER PARK, UNION PARK, OVIEDO, AND NEARBY CENTRAL FLORIDA

Your choice of a plastic surgeon may be the most important decision you make regarding plastic surgery. Here are some tips to help you carefully evaluate the plastic surgeon’s training, reputation, credentials, and experience:

Certifications & Memberships

Your plastic surgeon should be certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) which is the only specialty board recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties to certify plastic surgeons in the full spectrum of plastic surgery including cosmetic surgery.

He or she should be an active member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, which requires ABPS certification for membership. This certification assures that the plastic surgeon has been specifically trained in plastic surgery which provides the necessary technical skills and judgment to both determine your suitability for surgery and to select the procedure or technique that will yield the best results.

As an active member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, Dr. Scott Greenberg has a particular interest and demonstrated additional expertise in cosmetic surgery.

Hospital Privileges

Your plastic surgeon should have hospital privileges to perform any surgery that is offered to be done in an in-office surgical facility. Hospitals have strict standards for credentialing surgeons to do certain procedures and monitor each surgeon’s performance. The Florida Board of Medicine requires each office surgery facility to be registered but it should also be properly accredited.

Dr. Greenberg wants you to be well informed and comfortable with your decision about cosmetic surgery, the procedure you’ve chosen, and his abilities as your plastic surgeon. His consultations are structured to ensure that your questions are answered and that you have complete trust in his judgment and skills.
