What is ASPS? Established in 1931, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons is the largest plastic surgery specialty organization in the world. The mission of ASPS is to advance quality care to plastic surgery patients by encouraging high standards of training, ethics, physician practice, and research in plastic surgery. Plastic surgeons like Dr. Robbins who are members of the ASPS are board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and have undergone extensive training and have been evaluated by their peers on their practice of plastic surgery, from both the technical and ethical perspectives. Every ASPS member must meet these rigid requirements:

  • Graduated from an accredited medical school
  • Completed a combination of at least five years of general surgery and plastic surgery training
  • Passed comprehensive written and oral examinations given by the American Board of Plastic Surgery
  • Perform plastic surgery in surgical facilities that are accredited, licensed or Medicare certified
  • Maintain 150 hours of continuing medical education every three years
  • Adhere to the ASPS Code of Ethics

Dr. Robbins, an ASPS member and board-certified plastic surgeon, has the credentials you can trust.

What is ABFPRS? Established in 1986 to improve the quality of medical and surgical treatment available to the public, The American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ABFPRS) has set standards for training and practice of facial plastic surgery and determines which candidates meet these standards through a rigorous program of examination and certification. ABFPRS signifies that Dr. Robbins:

  • Completed an approved residency after medical school in one of two surgical specialties focusing on facial plastic surgery.
  • Is double board-certified, having earned prior certification in plastic surgery
  • Has successfully completed a two day examination
  • Has submitted for peer-review an acceptable record of at least two years' clinical experience, including operative reports of a minimum of 100 facial plastic surgeries.
  • Holds proper licensure and subscribes to the ABFPRS Code of Ethics

Dr. Robbins is the only surgeon in Iowa and one of only a few in the nation to hold board certification from both the American Board of Plastic Surgery and The American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.
