Choosing Your Cosmetic Surgeon

Home » Doctor Article » Choosing Your Cosmetic Surgeon

Your choice of a cosmetic surgeon may be the most important decision you make regarding plastic surgery. Carefully consider the cosmetic surgeon’s training, reputation, credentials and experience. Your cosmetic 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 cosmetic surgeons in the full spectrum of 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 cosmetic surgeon has been specifically trained in cosmetic 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, cosmetic surgeon Dr. Greenberg has a particular interest and demonstrated additional expertise in cosmetic surgery.

Your cosmetic 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 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 cosmetic surgeon. Consultations are structured to ensure that your questions are answered and that you have complete trust in his judgment and skills.
