Saw this doc on the web a long time ago when he was working for some dumpy practice with a bunch of other docs. His new place looks amazing.

My personal favorite DO board certified PRS. He's been on MTV, VH-1 etc, etc, and was also the subject of a pilot called 'Dr Miami' for E!, which was Dr 90210 in Miami ... but they didn't run with it.

What board is this guy certified with?

It doesn't seem to be with the American Board of Plastic Surgery or any other American Board of Medical Specialties: https://www.abms.org/

Maybe I'm missing it.

"Board Certified in Plastic Surgery" means he's been awarded board certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. But "Board Certified" could be very misleading.

If you find it, I'd love to know. It'd be cool if it really was the ABPS.

"He is a Diplomate of the National Osteopathic Board of Medical Examiners, a Diplomate of the American Osteopathic Board of Surgery, and a Diplomate of the America Board of Hair Restoration Surgery. He is a member of the American Osteopathic Association, and the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgeons. Additionaly, he is certified in Advanced and Basic Cardiac Life Support."

That's all I could find on the site...

Hmmm ... to be honest, I haven't been to his site in a few years, linked it without looking ... and it has changed a lot. However, a few things ... a. Trust me, I know all about how misleading saying BC can be. However, I'm 99.9% sure he did a fellowship in PRS, which is what makes a Plastic Surgeon legit. The fake ones do 'cosmetic fellowships,' and are boarded by things like 'the american academy of cosmetic surgery' ONLY. A lot of PRS guys do go through these too ... but they did PRS fellowship. He talks about PRS training on his site. Also, does the American Board of PRS recognize AOA PRS training or only ACGME??? Because that could be a big part of why he's not on there?? I'm sure there are DOs listed on the plastic surgery site ... but they probably did ACGME GS -> ACGME PRS. There is separate AOA PRS board, I'll find it in a bit.

And no ... technically Board Certified doesn't mean ABPS, because I'm 99% sure there is an AOA board, and certified by that = BC as well. I'm gonna go find it right now ... I'm sure there will be an edit to this post in like ten minutes.

edit: here's the osteopathic surgery board: http://www.aobs.org/ .... however, it looks like PRS is just a subdivision of the board, not a board itself. I'll do some more research bc I've had PRS people on this site tell me before there is a DO PRS board.

edit 2: here's more ... https://www.facos.org/scriptcontent/aboutacosbylawsplastic.cfm

So it looks like if you're certified by the college of osteopathic surgeons --> PRS division, you are board certified in PRS:

SECTION 1 - ELIGIBILITY:

Active Membership shall be limited to those who have completed formal training in plastic and reconstructive surgery in a program approved by the American Osteopathic Board of Surgery and American Osteopathic Association and whose practice encompasses solely the discipline of plastic and reconstructive surgery.


Seems kind of ass backwards to me ... but it would be 100% accurate to call yourself board certified in PRS if you fell under that category.

Well, technically you're 100% right that you can be "Board Certified" and not be certified by the ABPS. There are lots of "boards" you can be certified in. However, when you claim to "Board Certified in Plastic Surgery" it has come to mean you're with the ABPS. There's a lot of evidence of this. In fact, I just typed it into google and came across loads of articles that all evidence this. A couple of examples: http://www.plasticsurgery.com/breas...ertification-making-sense-of-it-all-a432.aspx
http://www.lookingyourbest.com/articles/newsandarticles/boardcertified

However, I agree that albeit ass backwards, the ACOS solution looks like it fulfills the definition.

I'm interested because I shadowed many hours with a DO PRS and we talked more than once about board certification. He went through an AOA general surgery residency and then an AOA PRS fellowship but felt somewhat hindered by not being able to say he was "Board Certified in Plastic Surgery". I do know he's with the ACOS so I'm going to bring this up with him.

1. Chugay is the biggest shady crook on the planet. If you look up his license, it's SHOCKING he can still practice. He's also facial plastic + cosmetic fellowship ... not PRS

2. The guy at perfect self did GS --> Cosmetic surgery. Not PRS, the guy got sued for false advertising with the PRS tag. He also pumps a tooth whitening system that seems odd.

The 3rd doc is legit ... however, you can't get away with only doing 3 years of GS nowadays, and the ACGME fellowships are 3 years, not 2.

Both those articles seem to be written by non-medical professionals, simply spout off the ABPS name, and don't mention DOs. I'm 99% sure that the scope of those articles is to avoid people who are 'board certified in cosmetic surgery,' which does NOT require a PRS fellowship. I'd ask the PRS guy you worked with ... he may not be able to say he's BC from ABPS, but I don't see how being certified in PRS by ACOS means non BC. Completely a PRS fellowship/integrated residency is the important thing. I'll do some research on the PRS boards later tonight ... I've seen this topic there before.

Searched the PRS forums ... Ironically enough, it brought me to a thread where I had originally asked the same question. A PRS resident and an OMFS resident both told me there are two boards ... one for ACGME, one for AOA. No links though ... I dunno.

Not that this makes him an expert, but the second article is written by Joachim Granzow, MD. ABMS certified in both Otolaryngology and PRS.

I won't keep on beating this horse after this post but here's a google search if you're interested:

http://www.google.com/search?client...tified+plastic+surgery+mean&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

Also, I agree with you. I do think that being certified in PRS by the ACOS does mean BC but I also think that the term "Board Certified in Plastic Surgery" is generally understood to mean it's by the ABPS.

Yeah, I don't know ... I'm pretty stumped to be honest. I still think a DO could put board certified in PRS through the ACOS, but I don't know if they don't use this bc it's not ABPS. You should really talk to the DO PRS you are shadowing. BTW does he/she have a website you can link??
