Most
cases are carried out in our state of the art, office based outpatient
surgical facility, The Aesthetic Surgery Center. Founded in 1995,
the center is licensed by New York State as a Corporation and has
a separate Tax ID number for billing purposes (important for third
party indemnification).
The
facility is accredited by the American Association for Accreditation
of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities, Incorporated (AAAASF), a national
accreditation program certifying to the medical and lay communities
that a surgical facility meets nationally recognized standards.
Each
facility is meticulously inspected initially and every three years
by a certified surgeon inspector. Criteria include physical conformity
of the operating and recovery; adequacy and maintenance of monitoring
equipment; emergency "crash cart" for airway control and updated
intravenous medications administration; uniformity and consistency
of medical records; program of quarterly assessment and peer review;
employee standards and their record verification.
Unrestricted hospital privileges are held for each every procedure
performed at The Aesthetic Surgery Center. Additionally, the center
is in compliance with the American Disabilities Act (ADA); National
and Occupational Safety and Health (OSHA) regulations; and National
Fire Protection association (NFPA) standards.
Major
facial reconstructive or microsurgical cases are performed at the
prestigious Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City. Founded
in 1852, The Mount Sinai Medical Center, a 1200 bed teaching hospital,
is a tertiary center of excellence for facial reconstructive surgery
and attracts patients from all over the world.
