If you’re searching for a cosmetic surgeon near Bloomfield Hills, you’ve likely noticed that not every provider offering cosmetic procedures has the same training, credentials, or surgical experience. There’s an important distinction worth understanding before you book a consultation — and it can make a real difference in your outcome.
Dr. Freedland is board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) — the only board recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties for plastic surgery. That certification requires years of dedicated surgical residency, rigorous written and oral exams, and ongoing peer review. It is the gold standard in the field.
“Plastic surgeon” and “cosmetic surgeon” are often used interchangeably, but they describe very different levels of training and oversight. A board-certified plastic surgeon has completed a full surgical residency — typically six or more years — followed by ABPS certification. “Cosmetic surgeon” is not a protected term and can be used by physicians from almost any specialty, including some with no formal surgical training in cosmetic procedures. That distinction matters when you’re making decisions about surgery.
At Freedland MD, every consultation is led by Dr. Freedland himself. You won’t meet a coordinator first and a surgeon briefly at the end. You’ll sit down with the person performing your procedure, ask every question on your list, and leave with a clear, honest picture of your options.
You meet the surgeon, not a sales team. From your first consultation through your last follow-up, Dr. Freedland is personally involved in your care. No handoffs to a coordinator or nurse practitioner. You get the doctor’s direct attention and experience every step of the way.
No surprises on pricing. Transparent pricing is standard here. You’ll know what your procedure costs before you commit — no high-pressure tactics, no bait-and-switch packaging. If something changes, you’ll know before it happens.
Natural results, not obvious ones. Dr. Freedland’s goal is enhancements that look like you at your best. Patients regularly hear they look “great” or “well-rested” — not that they look different. That’s the goal.
A research background that informs every case. Dr. Freedland brings analytical rigor to each patient — the science behind outcomes, not just the technique. That foundation matters in complex cases and in how he sets realistic expectations.
