Dr. Toth's Care Philosophy

Dr. Toth is an internationally recognized aesthetic surgeon who resides and practices in San Francisco, California. His Plastic Surgical training was at the Massachusetts General Hospital, the primary teaching hospital for the Harvard Medical School. He has published over 60 journal articles, 14 book chapters, and six instructional videotapes and has been co-editor of two books on plastic surgery. He is currently on the editorial board of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the international journal of cosmetic surgery. Dr Toth has been invited to demonstrate new techniques in cosmetic surgery by lecturing and performing live surgery in a variety of venues including Paris, Milan, Copenhagen, Capetown, Sao Paolo, Moscow and Shanghai. Dr Toth’s practice goals are to provide compassionate and detailed care for his patients. Every patient provides a unique set of challenges and Dr. Toth individualizes his care to meet the needs of each and every patient. In plastic surgery, this requires great attention to detail in an effort to restore or recreate a youthful, natural appearance, whether it is a facelift, rhinoplasty, breast or body contouring surgery. He is dedicated to creating a natural appearance rather than an artificial or operated look. In addition to cosmetic surgery, Dr. Toth has a commitment to children with facial deformity and spends five days a month operating on children with cleft lip, cleft palate and major intracranial deformities.

A specialty is the branch of medicine in which a doctor has completed advanced clinical training and education. Most doctors are board certified in their specialty. To receive the best healthcare for your needs, consider choosing a doctor who specializes in your particular medical condition. A specialist will concentrate on your specific needs and will be familiar with the best methods of treatment. 

Examples of specialists are a pediatrician who focuses on the physical, emotional, and social health of children from birth to young adulthood; or a cardiologist who specializes in diseases and conditions of the heart and blood vessels. 

A doctor may have more than one specialty, along with one or more subspecialties. For instance, a doctor could specialize in internal medicine and have a subspecialty in infectious disease. A subspecialty is a concentration within a specialty. 

Your primary care doctor (who is often a specialist in family medicine or internal medicine) can help you choose the right type of specialist. In fact, some health insurance plans require a referral from your primary care doctor before you visit a specialist.

Dr. Toth's License & Board Certification

  • Board Certified in General Surgery
  • Board Certified in Plastic Surgery
  • Licensed in California

Why is Board Certification Important?

Board certification requires extensive training and a rigorous review of a doctor’s knowledge, experience and skill in a medical specialty. Board certification also means that a doctor is actively improving his or her practice of medicine through continuing education. A board-certified doctor is more likely than a non-board-certified doctor to have the most current skills and knowledge about how to treat your medical condition.

Board certification requires extensive training and a rigorous review of a doctor’s knowledge, experience and skill in a medical specialty. Board certification also means that a doctor is actively improving his or her practice of medicine through continuing education. A board-certified doctor is more likely than a non-board-certified doctor to have the most current skills and knowledge about how to treat your medical condition. 

A doctor who is board certified has taken an important step beyond getting a required state medical license to practice. Some doctors choose not to apply for board certification. A doctor who is not board certified may be an excellent doctor who is fully licensed to practice medicine in his or her state. 

If you are considering a doctor who is not board certified, consider asking the doctor why he or she is not certified. This information might provide you important background information to help you decide whether or not to see that doctor.
