Board certification is a rigorous process that serves as a primary indicator of a physician’s competency to practice in a medical specialty. Maintenance of board certification also signifies that continuing medical education requirements are met, and that the practicing physician is up to date on the latest advancements in medicine. For all physicians who train in the United States, the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) is the gold standard for physician certification in the United States and has only 24 member boards – Dr. Lin is certified by 2 of those member boards of medicine, Plastic Surgery and Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery. The ABMS has recognized only the American Board of Plastic Surgery as identifying board certified plastic surgeons who practice in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery. Dr. Johnson believes that men and women should carefully consider their options for plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures. He offers his professional expertise and guidance, and he leaves the final decision in your hands. He would rather that you forego a procedure than be unhappy with the results.
