Many people believe that all doctors who call themselves “Plastic Surgeons” or “Cosmetic Surgeons” have in fact completed a residency in Plastic Surgery. This is not the case. Anyone with a medical degree can call himself or herself a Plastic Surgeon, advertise as a Plastic Surgeon and perform plastic surgery procedures. Many of these doctors perform procedures in their own surgical facility.
One of the ways to assess whether a doctor has been approved by his or her peers is hospital privileges. A surgeon should have hospital privileges for all procedures performed. Dr. Puri does not perform any procedure for which he does not have hospital privileges.
