Dr. Stephen Weber becomes Fellow of the American College of Surgeons

I am really excited to announce that I've been granted Fellow status in the American College of Surgeons. The college has a very rigorous screening process during which they extensively evaluate a candidate's education, training, professional background and competence in their area of specialization. Fellows must be board-certified in their practice specialty and embody strict ethical and professional principles in order to receive the F.A.C.S. designation. Most importantly, this distinction is one more indicator to our patients that they will be well cared for by an ethical and highly experienced Facial Plastic Surgeon.

Dr. Stephen Weber Becomes Diplomate of American Board of Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery

The American Board of Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery recently certified me as a "Diplomate" of the  board. This connotes board certification in the highly-competitive field of Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery. At Lone Tree Facial Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery Center we seek to uphold the rigorous standards of the ABFPRS and provide cutting-edge, safe, ethical care to our patients. Both Dr. Schaler and I maintain double board certification in Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery and Otolaryngology and Head & Neck Surgery.

"The ABFPRS credential signifies that your surgeon:   

1. Has completed an approved residency after medical school in one of two surgical specialties focusing on facial plastic surgery (otolaryngology-head and neck surgery or plastic surgery);
2. Is double boarded, having earned prior certification in one of those specialties through the American Board of Medical Specialties or the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons in Canada;
3. Has successfully completed a two-day examination;
4. Has submitted for peer-review an acceptable record of at least two years’ clinical experience, including operative reports of a minimum 100 facial plastic surgeries;
5. Operates in an accredited facility; and
6. Holds proper licensure and subscribes to the ABFPRS Code of Ethics."
