Be careful when shopping for a Plastic Surgeon because not all board of certifications are the same. In fact, with advanced marketing efforts, some practices are members or participate in different levels of certification to separate and identify themselves from the competition. It is very important that patients understand that there are different boards, each with different requirements for certification.

Dr. Gary Williamson of Augusta Aesthetic Surgery is a diplomat of the American Board of Plastic Surgery and a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery. The American Board of Plastic Surgery is the only board that is approved to certify doctors in plastic surgery by the American Board of Medical Specialties, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to setting high standards for physicians nationwide.

It is highly recommended that patients who seek a plastic surgeon with the highest degree of qualifications should choose one who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.

Dr. Gary Williamson has been in private practice for over 23 years in the Aiken, Augusta and Evans area.
