New Jersey Plastic Surgeon Named 2012 Top Doc

PARAMUS, NJ--(Marketwire - Jun 20, 2012) - Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Luis Zapiach has been selected as a Top Doc in 2012 by New Jersey Monthly magazine for his continued pursuit of high quality patient care at his New Jersey plastic surgery practice. After conducting a survey of the state's practicing physicians, the ballots were tallied, and doctors in more than 40 specialties were selected. Dr. Zapiach says he looks forward to the Top Docs issue, which is due out in October, as well as the reception NJ Monthly magazine will host in November.

Dr. Zapiach is double board-certified in plastic surgery and general surgery, and specializes in a range of cosmetic enhancement procedures, including breast augmentation, tummy tuck, and Ulthera. He says this is an exciting time at his practice and in the industry, and the nomination to NJ Monthly's Top Docs list reinforces his dedication to providing the latest advancements and safe, effective procedures: "The nomination may allow my patients to feel more comfortable knowing that other physicians entrust me with their own care or the care or their family member."

The NJ Monthly survey is only sent to physicians currently practicing in the state of New Jersey. Inclusion is through this voting process only and cannot be paid for. Participating physicians were asked who they would send a family member to if care in a particular industry was needed. The New Jersey plastic surgeon says this recognition is an honor, because he not only strives to provide safe and effective care for his patients, but also believes patient comfort plays an integral role in the success of any procedure. He adds that this nomination is important to him on both a professional and personal level: "It is gratifying to see that our hard work and dedication to patient care is appreciated by my colleagues and the community in general."

Regardless of whether a patient is considering a surgical procedure such as liposuction, or a less-invasive procedure such as BOTOX® injections or laser skin resurfacing, Dr. Zapiach stresses the need to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon, stating that the certification process is one of the only ways to determine the surgeon has the appropriate training and understanding of the complexity of cosmetic enhancement. In addition to his board certification, he adds that being recognized by his peers in the NJ Monthly survey further inspires his drive to create the highest quality results and patient care.
