If you’re looking for a plastic surgeon in NYC or Long Island, you’re likely finding them through an online source of some kind.
Whether it is an online review site, a search using Google, or on social media…you’re bombarded with many names and reasons why they think you should choose them. One of the major qualifiers for choosing a superb plastic surgery practice is whether or not they are accredited. Read on to get more information on how to choose the best center.
AAAHC Accreditation Means Superior Quality & Safety
Receiving approval from the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care, Inc. means that the surgical room has met the stringent standards for outpatient surgery that are required by this organization.
With safety of the patient a top concern, the AAAHC requires an application process from the surgical facility along with a two-day evaluation process from medical professional experts (peer-based accreditation).
Our Board Certified Surgeons
Accreditation ensures that these benchmarks are met:
Equipment is functional, up to date on its inspection/maintenance schedule, and safe for use.
Surgical supplies are up to date and in stock, used properly, and to quality standards required by the AAAHC.
Staff & doctors have procedures in place that follow the medical board’s standards for that state.
Surveying of the center’s processes through an exhaustive consultation and educational process.
Surgical suites are maintained to sterile standards, sterilization of equipment is done properly, post-op clean up procedures are performed properly.
All doctors and staff have the necessary qualifications, degrees, and experience to perform their duties.
