We are thrilled to announce that all two of our Juarez surgical team members are now Fellows of the American College of Surgeons (F.A.C.S.). Dr. Jose Rodriguez-Villarreal became a Fellow back in 2016 and just recently, Dr. Rafael Vizcarra have received their credentials as well.  This is a huge accomplishment and great honor for them, and we are so proud to work with such a distinguished group of surgeons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The letters F.A.C.S. (Fellow of the American College of Surgeons) after a surgeon’s name are an indication to the patient that the surgeon has passed a thorough evaluation of both professional competence and ethical fitness. Fellows are board-certified surgeons or, in unusual circumstances, have met other standards comparable to board certification.<\/strong> A Fellow has committed herself (himself) unequivocally to place the welfare of her (his) patients above any other consideration; to avoid division of fees with other physicians; to make her (his) fees commensurate with the services she (he) renders; and to refrain from performing unjustified operations.<\/p> https:\/\/www.facs.org\/education\/patient-education\/patient-resources\/qualifications<\/a>

The link above describes what it is to be a Fellow. (F.A.C.S.) and the section to read is #2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s important to\ndistinguish the difference between an \u201cAssociate\u201d and a \u201cFellow\u201d. Some surgeons\npay a fee to become an \u201cAssociate\u201d member, however, you cannot buy a\nFellowship, it must be earned.<\/strong> The College admits to its Fellowship only\nthose surgeons whose professional activity is devoted to surgical practice and\nwho agree without compromise to practice by its professional and ethical\nstandards.
\n
\nThe F.A.C.S. credential exists to foster the professional growth and\ndevelopment of surgeons, to promote high standards and best practices in\nsurgical care, and to establish and maintain the patients\u2019 confidence in the\nability and integrity of their surgeon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
