Certificate of Accreditation

One of the most important things we do to earn and keep your confidence is to participate in the voluntary quality assessment program of the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care. When you see our certificate of accreditation, you know that the AAAHC has taken a close look at us and found that our services meet their nationally recognized standards for quality health care. Accreditation sets high goals for us. It challenges us to always seek better ways to serve our patients. And, it reminds us constantly that our first and most important responsibility is to see that you get the best care we can provide. The Center for Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery was the first oral surgery office to be certified by the AAAHC on the west coast. We are also one of the few oral surgery offices accredited in the USA since 1991, and one of just a handful in Washington State.

When you want quality health care services, look for the symbol of confidence — the certificate of the Accreditation Association of Ambulatory Health Care. It’s one more way to say we care about you.
