Hospital Privileges
—In Miami—

Having plastic surgery is a big decision. You have selected your preferred Miami plastic surgeon, but you may still have questions about where your surgery will take place.

Quadruple board-certified Miami plastic surgeon, Dr. Alexander Zuriarrain, empowers his patients with the choice to have surgery in his private state-of-the-art surgical suite or two highly ranked Miami hospitals.

What are Hospital Privileges?

Hospital privileges allow a physician to provide services at a given hospital. However, the surgeon must receive approval from the hospital first. This process is strict, and privileges are not easy to obtain.

Why is it an important distinction when choosing your plastic surgeon?

Hospital privileges generally indicate that a surgeon is board-certified and upholds high competency and patient care standards. Medical credentials, training, and previous performance are factors a hospital considers when deeming a surgeon worthy of performing surgery on-site.

What are the benefits of Hospital Privileges?

While most patients are thrilled to undergo surgery in Dr. Zuriarrain's luxurious, accredited private facility, others prefer to check in at a hospital they know and love. Perhaps you have had a great experience at Baptist Hospital or South Miami Hospital and would love to have your surgery there.

Dr. Zuriarrain's hospital privileges allow you to choose a surgical site where you feel most comfortable. Selecting a location that feels safe and familiar is a great way to put your mind at ease as you head into your surgery. If convenience is your main concern, you can choose a hospital that is closest to you.

Dr. Zuriarrain is an integral part of your hospital stay. He takes a hands-on approach to coordinating your care. For outpatient procedures, he remains on-site until you are ready to go home. If your surgery requires an overnight stay, he makes daily rounds to check up on you, manage your care, and prescribe medications as necessary.

Dr. Zuriarrain has intimate familiarity with each hospital, enabling him to provide the utmost care before, during, and after your surgery.
