Why Should You Join FSPS?
Established in 1956, the Florida Society of Plastic Surgeons has been helping to make safe, high-quality plastic surgery available in the state of Florida. FSPS is a plastic surgeon directory comprised of over 200 reputable, board-certified plastic surgeons located in the state of Florida.
FSPS promotes the art, science and ethical practice of plastic surgery. We strive to provide patients with highly qualified physicians that will exceed their expectations. We base our foundation on education, ensuring that both patients and physicians are abreast of the latest surgical procedures and techniques.
FSPS offers members a place to network and exchange ideas. Meetings are held where members can share knowledge as a means to hone their craft. Membership also helps plastic surgeons grow their individual practice.

What I Like Being a Member of FSPS
Read about some fellow members of FSPS and why they think membership is important.
"FSPS is a group of premier plastic surgeons from around the state of Florida who are committed to the safety of our patients and the integrity of our profession. Our FSPS attorney/lobbyist ensures that the best interests of Florida plastic surgeons are protected in the state legislature. Being a member of this organization allows me the opportunity to congregate with the best academic and private practice plastic surgeons in the state."
- Kendall K. Peters MD, FACS
"FSPS does extraordinary work for surgeons and patients in Florida. We get an internationally recognized faculty at our meeting at the Breakers every year. If you aren't a member of FSPS, you are missing so much-- collegiality, partner benefits, practice information, not to mention one of the best state meetings in the country!"
- Andrew H. Rosenthal, MD
"FSPS is a wonderful group of board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeons in Florida who are geared to ensure safe and successful results for their patients. It is a strong advocacy group lobbying for key bills affecting the scope of plastic surgery practice in the state of Florida. Furthermore, the annual meeting held at the beautiful Breakers brings plastic surgeons together in a gregarious environment for a weekend educating each other on the novel techniques and innovations in the field."
- Anup Patel, MD, MBA, FACS
"Almost everything “exciting” in plastic surgery comes from FLORIDA, the good, the bad and the UGLY. Being a part of FSPS keeps me up to date on what is really going on! In no small part due to our interactions with FL BOM and Chris Nuland!"
- Alissa Shulman, MD, FACS
"Most everything that affects our specialty in Florida takes place in Tallahassee, not at the local or national level. It is at that level, where the advocacy efforts of FSPS play a major role in protecting the interests of plastic surgery. Over 65 years old and going strong!”
- Onelio Garcia, MD
"If you are a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon who cares deeply about maintaining the highest standards for our Florida plastic surgery patients, and patient safety matters to you, then the FSPS is the place for you. Come join us."
- Thomas G.S. Fiala, MD
"The Florida Society of Plastic Surgeons is undoubtedly the single organization that most directly impacts regulation of plastic surgery and aesthetic surgery in this state. Every board certified plastic surgeon licensed in Florida who wishes to have a say in the most relevant issues impacting our specialty should support the FSPS through membership, participation and leadership.
