Doctor Credentials
When undergoing any type of surgical procedure, it is important to make sure that your doctor and the surgery center or hospital where your surgery will be performed have the necessary credentials. The doctors of The Metropolitan Institute for Plastic Surgery are board certified in both general surgery and plastic surgery and specialize in all types of cosmetic and reconstructive surgeries.
