Saratoga Springs — Saratoga Springs Plastic Surgery, PC has earned The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval® for Office-Based Surgery Accreditation for its on-site operating room for the seventh time since it was initially accredited in 2003. Saratoga Springs Plastic Surgery, PC is the only Albany Capital District region office-based surgery medical facility currently accredited by The Joint Commission which is the organization that also accredits many of the hospitals in the United States. 

Saratoga Springs Plastic Surgery underwent an onsite review in May, 2022 and received notice granting another three-year term of accreditation on August 11. Evaluated areas included: emergency management, environment of care, infection prevention and control, medication management, OSHA compliance, patient education and training, proper monitoring of patients during procedures that involve deep sedation or anesthesia, and postoperative care plans.

Board-certified plastic surgeon Steven Yarinsky, MD  performs all cosmetic procedures at his office facility. “Our surveys show that patients prefer to have their cosmetic procedure done at our office facility,” Yarinsky emphasizes. “The Covid-19 pandemic years have created unprecedented challenges to maintaining a safe environment of care in our office. Our Joint Commission affiliation has assisted us in developing and instituting protocols and methods to keep our staff and patients healthy. We were able to continue to provide cosmetic surgery services when area hospitals were forced to close their operating rooms.” Nationwide, the number of surgical procedures performed in physician offices and ambulatory surgery centers surpasses those performed in hospitals. 

Saratoga Springs Plastic Surgery, PC is located at 7 Wells St., Suite 303, Saratoga Springs. To learn more, visit yarinsky.com and www.facebook.com/DrYarinsky.
