Help Center / Is a Designated Physician required to perform office surgeries in order to serve as a Designated Physician?


No. However, before a Designated Physician can perform office surgeries, he or she must provide all necessary credentials to the Department of Health to demonstrated that he or she is qualified to be added to an office surgery registration. If a Designated Physician does not intend to perform office surgeries, he or she must provide a letter to the Department stating that he or she will practice medicine at the office surgery facility but will not perform office surgeries.
