Quotes from the Media:

Dr. Singh and Dr. Khalifeh are both board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery which is an AMA-recognized, American Board of Medical Specialties recognized-board.  A board-certified surgeon has completed at least 5 to 6 years of surgical residency training, after medical school graduation, including at least 2 to 3 years specializing in plastic surgery, and passed comprehensive oral and written exams. 

"TV doctors, to me, are the most dangerous because they may or may not have the true credentials or the expertise...But the public perceives they have credibility because they are on TV...We take Oprah to task for making this guy a celebrity when he isn't even board-certified."

--ASPS President, Englewood, NJ.  Los Angeles Times (Nov 20, 2007)

"TV is looking for the best doctors who show well and get ratings.  They have to have looks and personality.  But there are no criteria for evaluating their medical credentials.  That's a big problem"

--Montclair, NJ.  Los Angeles Times (Nov 20)
