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.
