Our Practice

Our Valdosta Surgery Center Provides Care to our South Georgia and North Central Florida Patients

Dr. Sonya J. Merriman and Plastic Surgery Associates are conveniently located in Northwest Valdosta, close to South Georgia Medical Center. The center conveniently serves patients in the Plantation Trace, South Georgia, and North Central Florida regions. An on-site surgery suite is available to provide very high-quality care and service, as well as privacy, convenience, and cost savings for our patients. All cosmetic procedures are performed in our office outpatient surgery suite under local anesthesia or IV sedation. After a short recovery period, patients can return home.

Surgical Facility Certifications

Almost everyone has heard that they should look for “Board Certification” when seeking a qualified Plastic Surgeon. However, less emphasis has been placed on the certification of Ambulatory Surgical Centers.

To provide that added security, ASC certification from Medicare, the State of Georgia, and the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities (AAAASF) has been obtained (State of Georgia ASCID 11-C0001229). This accreditation provides the extra measure of confidence that our patients and the community deserve in their health care service providers.
