How important is board certification? The intent of the certification of physicians is to provide assurance to the public that a physician has completed an approved training program and an evaluation process assessing their ability to provide quality patient care. It is also important to know which board certified your physician. Some physicians advertise themselves as “cosmetic surgeons” or “plastic surgeons” and state that they are “board certified”. Patients will be under the false impression that they are board certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery. This is not always the case. To assess if a physician is board certified and by which board, link The American Board of Medical Specialties Web site at
