Hidden patient records, ******** surgeries among reasons Miami plastic surgeons fined

The list of reasons three Miami-Dade plastic surgeons were punished include ******** surgeries, unlicensed staff caring for patients after surgery, and hiding patient records from state inspectors.

Whether or not these doctors committed these violations, they’re responsible as the designated physicians for office surgery centers in Coral Gables, Aventura and West Miami-Dade.

An office surgery center’s designated physician makes sure the center complies with regulations and laws. When Florida Department of Health inspections turn up violations at the surgery center, separate administrative complaints are filed against the surgery center and the designated physician.
