About this directory — sources & checking
A patient-first directory of Arizona plastic surgeons, built to answer one question before any other: is this surgeon’s certification verified, and by what source?
Where listings come from
Listings were compiled from public sources: the ABPS directory, ASPS and ABMS records, The Aesthetic Society, Doximity, Healthgrades, AEDIT, and the practices’ own sites. Every listing names its certification source in its verification summary.
Labels name their source
ABPS-verified means a record in the ABPS directory. Facial and other boards are named as such, never conflated with ABPS. Claimed means only the practice’s own site asserts certification. Unknown means no certification was found in the sources checked — flagged honestly, never guessed.
Re-checked before publication
Listings were re-checked in the Oct 27–28, 2026 passes, and each check carries a date — the direct ABPS directory checks were completed Oct 27–28, 2026, with the checked date recorded in each profile’s verification summary. The Oct 28–29, 2026 addition pass added further directly-checked listings.
How corrections are handled
Anyone may flag a listing for correction through the claim form. Corrections are checked against a public source before publication, and a listing that cannot be verified as a current practice is removed.
Coverage
The directory covers the whole state: Phoenix, the Valley, Tucson, Northern Arizona, Yuma, Sierra Vista, Show Low, Lake Havasu City, and the West Valley — 21 cities in all. 212 listings: the original 158 (50 Scottsdale-area plus 107 added statewide plus Dr. Robert J. Spies) plus 56 added in the Oct 28–29, 2026 combined addition pass, less Dr. David M. Creech and Dr. Atanu Biswas, removed after their practices closed. The directory was compiled and verification-passed Oct 27, 2026 and updated Oct 28–29, 2026. Browse the listings by city or by distance from your city / ZIP code in the directory. Consultation requests go only to practices that have opted in; claim and inquiry forms prepare a draft until live handling is switched on.
