About Us

AZcosmeticdocs.com was created upon one principle: To assure the best results without any complications from any plastic or cosmetic surgery procedure, two things must be present. First, the patient must be matched with a qualified board-certified surgeon (certified by the appropriate medical board) who specializes in the specific procedures you are interested in having. Second, the patient should be informed as to their options and must be completely comfortable during every step of the process.

Seeking the right doctor for you begins with the doctor's staff, do they make you feel comfortable? Are they friendly and willing to answer any questions you may have? More importantly, the doctor-patient consultation is your golden opportunity to ask the doctor as many questions as you need to until you are comfortable. Make sure he or she informs you not only of the benefits, but also with the risks and complications related to the specific procedure(s) you are seeking to have. I encourage you to seek more then one opinion until you are 100% comfortable with your selection. These are your personal features. You owe it to yourself to do your homework.

To any prospective patient, the whole thing can be quite intimidating and overwhelming. One might think: "Where do I learn about the procedures? Who should perform it? Is the doctor board-certified by the appropriate medical board? What medical board should my doctor be certified by? What can I expect from the results?"

Do you realize that ANY doctor can legally perform a cosmetic procedure? He or she need not be board- certified in the particular discipline. In fact, a recent "20/20" survey of the Yellow Pages revealed that only roughly 30% of the doctors who promote themselves as a plastic surgeon were neither board-certified in plastic or cosmetic surgery, but rather board-certified in other areas of medicine like emergency medicine, or Internal Medicine.

Most magazines and other advertising recourses do not require or verify board-certification from the doctors they feature. After contacting several doctors that had ads placed in various magazines, I concluded that over 60% of the doctors featured were not board certified in plastic or cosmetic surgery. It was evident that any doctor can be featured who pays. Next time you notice an ad offering plastic or cosmetic surgery procedures, The only thing that is important for you to notice is If the doctor is board certified? And what medical board are they certified by. This is the law, and your right as a future patient to know. Don't be fooled by all the embellishments of various print ads promoting plastic or cosmetic surgery procedures. Ads that looks great, have great graphics, and are eye catching, are perfect if your seeking to buy furniture for your new home. Two important things you need to look for when you see cosmetic or plastic surgery ads are board-certification, and the medical board the doctor is certified by.

I encourage every person who is seeking to have a plastic or cosmetic surgery procedure(s) to do your research before going under the knife. We have provided you with a page of various medical links. I encourage you to use these links. They are all helpful, resourceful, and offer important information about different areas of expertise we feature. There is nothing greater then looking in the mirror after having had a cosmetic procedure, and seeing perfect results. Perfect results without any complications. I know, the benefits and rewards of having great results, Unfortunately, I also know the pain from having bad results. It is for this reason, I have provided you with this incredible site.
