What is an oculoplastic surgeon?

An ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgeon is an ophthalmologist (medical doctor and eye surgeon) who has completed additional training in plastic surgery as it relates to the eyes and their surrounding structures.  The word plastic is derived from the Greek word that means to mold or to give form.  Plastic surgery is surgery that molds or reconstructs parts of the human body.  Ophthalmic plastic surgery is plastic surgery that is limited to the structures surrounding the eye.  Since such surgery can affect one's ability to see, ophthalmic plastic surgeons are best qualified to perform this delicate surgery and also provide any care that the eye itself may need. 

Dr. Baker is a member of the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ASOPRS), what does that mean?

Membership in ASOPRS is restricted to ophthalmologists who have been board certified by the American or Canadian Board of Ophthalmology and who have also passed rigorous test in in ophthalmic plastic surgery.  There are fewer than 500 members accepted into ASPORS worldwide.
