1. Why Choose a Board Certified Physician Specialist?
As a patient, you want to entrust your care to a doctor with the experience, knowledge and surgical skill to give you the best surgical outcome. Choosing a physician who has been board certified in his or her medical specialty is your best assurance. Certification demonstrates the physician’s mastery of the core competencies essential to providing the finest medical care.
The body responsible for accrediting the majority of graduate medical training in the U.S. is the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). All physicians and physician anesthesiologists performing cases at Scottsdale MRS are board certified in their medical specialties accredited by the ACGME.
2. Why Choose a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon?
You can trust that a physician certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery or American Board of Surgery meets nationally recognized standards for education, knowledge, skill and experience. This guarantees your surgeon is not only licensed, but also has the specialized medical and safety training, certification, peer recognition, and experience necessary for the best outcome of your plastic surgery.
Any individual can claim to be a doctor, cosmetic surgeon or plastic surgeon. Only board certified plastic surgeons have the necessary skill and experience to ensure your safety and best surgical outcome. Make it your top priority to check a doctor’s credentials. Your doctor should have the necessary training and certification appropriate to the procedure.
3. What is a Licensed, Accredited Surgery Center?
A licensed, accredited surgery center provides a higher standard of medical care than a surgery room in a doctor’s office. Scottsdale MRS has not only undergone rigorous evaluation by the State of Arizona to earn licensure, it has also passed the highest tests of quality and safety of Medicare and AAAHC (Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care). Compliance with these national regulatory standards must be continuously met to preserve accreditation. Most doctor’s offices do not seek this higher test of quality and accreditation.
