Board Certification
Dr. Jeffrey Donaldson & Dr. Michelle Sieffert Are Board Certified Plastic Surgeons
Our surgeons are both Diplomates of the American Board of Plastic Surgery. This means that after college, medical school, general surgery residency, plastic surgery residency and fellowship, they passed both written and oral examinations administered by the nation’s top plastic surgery professors and instructors.
The Importance Of Choosing A Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon
When it comes to selecting a plastic surgeon along your self-confidence journey, the importance of choosing a board-certified professional cannot be overstated. Board certification serves as a mark of excellence, ensuring that your chosen surgeon has undergone rigorous training, adheres to the highest standards of patient care, and possesses the necessary skills and expertise to deliver safe and successful outcomes.
What Sets The ABPS Certification Apart
The written exam completed by Dr. Donaldson and Dr. Sieffert is a culmination of their many years of education, consisting of 400 questions over seven hours. The oral exam, taken at least one year later, consists of two days of 2-examiners-on-1-examinee interrogation about actual and hypothetical plastic surgery cases and scenarios. Fewer than 200 surgeons in the nation satisfactorily complete this process each year.
There is tremendous confusion about who is Board Certified, and if so, then by which “board.” All boards are not the same. Some are obtainable simply by paying an annual fee or attending a weekend course!
