This is an NPI-based check only. NPISignal does not publish name-based exclusion matches on a provider profile. A shared or similar name is a lead that requires human review, not an identification, and this page is not the place to make one. Run a name-based screening below to see potential matches with the reasons for each.

Specialties & Taxonomies

Plastic Surgery
Allopathic & Osteopathic Physicians
A plastic surgeon deals with the repair, reconstruction or replacement of physical defects of form or function involving the skin, musculoskeletal system, craniomaxillofacial structures, hand, extremities, breast and trunk and external genitalia or cosmetic enhancement of these areas of the body. Cosmetic surgery is an essential component of plastic surgery. The plastic surgeon uses cosmetic surgical principles to both improve overall appearance and to optimize the outcome of reconstructive procedures. The surgeon uses aesthetic surgical principles not only to improve undesirable qualities of normal structures but in all reconstructive procedures as well.
