Board Certification: Does it Matter?
Not all medical certification boards are the same. By law, a medical doctor is free to perform any medical or surgical procedure. That means a brain surgeon can undertake a tummy tuck. The duty falls on the doctor to follow his or her conscience. Boards are loose affiliations of medical professionals that organize together; however, medical boards are self-regulating.
Thus, qualifications and admissions to medical boards are self-determined. What does that mean for you, the patient? Well, you need to be sure that your plastic surgeon is board certified in plastic surgery, and not some other discipline–physicians certified in plastic surgery will tend to be better qualified than doctors certified in, say, podiatry, and vice versa. Next, consider the board itself. There is a national group called the American College of Graduate Medical Education; this organization has undertaken the task of reviewing the policies and performance of medical boards and approves only medical boards that meet the highest standards. The ACGME has approved only one plastic surgery board as worthy of its approval: The American Board of Plastic Surgeons. And, Dr. Larry Schlesinger is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgeons.
Our Commitment to our Honolulu Breast Augmentation Patients
Your safety and well-being is our top priority. Dr. Schlesinger performs his surgeries personally. Other professionals in Honolulu are offering procedures by non-Board Certified or junior doctors. Dr. Schlesinger maintains an office and a full staff on in Honolulu. Board Certification in plastic surgery is much more than a professional affiliation: Board Certification requires years of surgical experience, years of residency in accredited hospital surgical programs, intensive board examinations, and stringent peer review. Is your plastic surgeon Board-Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, the only plastic surgery board recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialists?
