Symbol of Excellence
By choosing an ASPS member plastic surgeon, patients can be assured that the physician has graduated from an accredited medical school and completed at least five years of additional residency, usually three years in general surgery and two years in plastic surgery. To be certified by ABPS, a physician must also practice plastic surgery for two years and pass comprehensive written and oral examinations. Our physicians (Drs. Laufer, Ross and Buck) are members of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

The American Society of
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons (ASPS), founded in 1931, represents
97 percent of all physicians certified by the American Board of Plastic
Surgery (ABPS). Members also include physicians certified in plastic
surgery by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. The
Society has recently changed their name to American
Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). This name change
simplifies our organization and includes all procedures done; cosmetic as
well as reconstructive.
