Training And Experience

The most important factors to evaluate when selecting your surgeon are training and experience. You should choose a surgeon who has graduated from a recognized medical school, completed one or more specialized residencies, and performed a large number of plastic surgery procedures. In addition, you should ask your prospective surgeon whether he or she has been board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Board certification is an important benchmark because it requires passing of several stringent exams and a thorough evaluation of the surgeon’s professional record.

Dr. Jose Perez-Gurri completed his medical education at the highly recognized University of Miami School of Medicine, graduating in the top third of his class. He then pursued several surgical residencies, including a specialized residency in plastic surgery.

Additionally, he is a founding member of the Florida Foundation for Plastic Surgery Safety and is an active committee member and spokesperson for several organizations, including ASAPS and ASPS.

He is considered a surgeon of distinction and has served the plastic surgery community for the past 30 years.
