Representing Your Interests

The New York State Society of Plastic Surgeons, Inc (NYSSPS) was founded in 2008 on the guiding principle that New York’s plastic surgeons need an entity focused directly on representing its member's interests at the state / federal legislative and regulatory levels.  

Our Society is specifically structured to

  • Act on legislation and regulations that effect plastic surgeons in New York; 
  • Support activities that create optimal practice environments; 
  • Provide direct access to practice resources and legal counsel services; 
  • Host interactive events that foster professional and personal development. 

Membership to the New York State Society of Plastic Surgeons is paramount as the Society works on your behalf to address the challenges facing you, your practice and the specialty. Joining will provide additional value to you, your practice and patients.

Benefits

  • Collective advocacy-related activities, like the ones NYSSPS organizes and participates in, gives members a strong, consistent, unified voice. Your patients and the public at large benefit from the input that physicians provide by constructing better-informed laws and regulations.

  • Your membership gives NYSSPS the ability to actively monitor the New York political and regulatory scene and engage policymakers at critical points. This is our priority and commitment to you and your patients.

  • Your membership gives you peace of mind – a tremendous value amid the dynamically changing healthcare arena. 

Legal Counsel Services

We are pleased to announce that the New York State Society of Plastic Surgeons has selected the law firm of Garfunkel Wild, P.C. to serve as its General Counsel and be available to serve its members. 

GW’s attorneys can advise and represent you in matters including: OPMC; compliance issues; employment disputes; real estate leases and purchases; wills and estate planning; corporate transactions; litigation and arbitrations; audits and investigations; and payor disputes. 

With over 80 attorneys serving the health care industry, GW has, for over 35 years, focused its attention on the needs of individuals and entities that provide health care services, including thousands of physicians and physician practices. 

GW’s New York offices are located in Great Neck and Albany. Many of its attorneys have enjoyed prior careers as physicians, nurses, risk managers, prosecutors, and regulators and the firm’s Albany office includes three partners who served in high-level positions within DOH. 

GW is available for general legal questions. Should you retain their services, as a NYSSPS member you will receive a discount off GW’s applicable fees. 


Medical Malpractice Insurer

The NYSSPS Executive Council is pleased to announce that it has chosen The Doctors Company as the NYSSPS exclusively endorsed professional liability carrier.

As the largest insurer of plastic surgeons in the nation, they also have an unparalleled understanding of liability claims against our specialty.
