Choosing a Plastic Surgeon
You should always feel comfortable with your surgeon and have all of your questions answered. Reputable surgeons such as those at Beverly Hills Physicians in Valencia do everything they can to provide patients with access to vital information. There are a number of things patients should scrutinize prior to choosing a plastic surgeon.

Before and After Pictures These pictures are perhaps the quickest and most direct method of seeing what results a particular surgeon or medical group is capable of producing. In addition to taking the pictures in a consistent setting, BHP's approach is to take photos from many different angles to ensure full transparency about the results.

Surgeon Accreditations There are a variety of different organizations that give out accreditations, and certain surgeons may choose to pursue recognition from one rather than another, so it is not always the easiest to see which organization recognizes which surgeons. For patients' convenience, BHP's website www.beverlyhillsphysicians.com has a designated doctor's page to help patients find the right surgeon specializing in the procedure that they are looking for.

Former Patient Testimonials Getting recommendations from family and friends is often a great way to find the right surgeon, not everyone knows someone else who has already gone through the specific procedure they are considering. Fortunately, the Internet has made it much easier for patients to have access to former patients' testimonials and reviews.
Consultations with the board-certified doctors at BHP are free. 249-4040
