Many were excited to learn that he is Double Board Certified. Some doctors performing breast augmentations aren’t even board certified in Plastic Surgery. Dr. Vanek is, and he is also board certified in General Surgery. So he knows how the entire human body functions, from the inside out. He is one of a small percentage of physicians in the country with this distinction, because board certification in Plastic Surgery is voluntary, and the process to even obtain one board certification is lengthy and rigorous. His dual-certification required many years of education and training, completion of two residency programs, and demonstration of expertise to two different examination boards, including passing extensive written and multi-day oral exams. Both certifications need to be maintained with ongoing education and assessments, including the latest advancements and demonstration of best practices relating to ethics, patient safety and communications.
