E. John Serrão, M.D. of Orlando Achieves AAAHC Accreditation
Orlando, Florida – February 6, 2014 – Aesthetic Clinique has achieved accreditation by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC). Accreditation distinguishes this office-based surgical center from many other outpatient facilities by providing the highest quality of care to its patients as determined by an independent, external process of evaluation.
Status as an accredited organization means Aesthetic Clinique has met nationally recognized standards for the provision of quality health care set by AAAHC. More than 5,000 ambulatory health care organizations across the United States are accredited by AAAHC. Not all ambulatory health care organizations seek accreditation; not all that undergo the rigorous on-site survey process are granted accreditation.
“We believe our patients deserve the best,” stated E. John Serrão, M.D., Medical Director of Aesthetic Clinique. “When you see our certificate of accreditation, you will know that AAAHC, an independent, not-for-profit organization, has closely examined our facility and procedures. It means we as an organization care enough about our patients to strive for the highest level of care possible.”
Ambulatory health care organizations seeking accreditation by AAAHC undergo an extensive self-assessment and on-site survey by AAAHC expert surveyors – physicians, nurses, and administrators who are actively involved in ambulatory health care. The survey is consultative and educational, presenting best practices to help an organization improve its care and services.
“Going through the process challenged us to find better ways to serve our patients, and it is a constant reminder that our responsibility is to strive to continuously improve the quality of care we provide,” said Larissa Serrão, R.N. “At our practice, we truly do care about our patients.”
The practice of E. John Serrão, M.D., F.A.C.O.G., established in 1992, specializes in obstetrics, gynecology, and urogynecology. In 1999, Dr. Serrão and his wife, Larissa Serrão, R.N., expanded the practice opening Aesthetic Clinique. This branch of the practice specializes in cosmetic-plastic gynecology, cosmetic surgery of the female patient, medical spa services and anti-aging. The opening of the office-based surgical center in 2012 continues to promote our commitment to quality patient care. “Our patients love having their surgery done in the office. They are comfortable in the calming environment and have developed a trust in our medical staff. Our surgical patients know that they will be cared for because we only do one case per day. The experienced surgical team is able to focus all of their attention on one patient at a time. At Aesthetic Clinique, we take care of all the details when caring for our surgical patients. We want them to receive the highest quality of care possible,” said E. John Serrão, M.D. Aesthetic Clinique is located at 2905 McRae Avenue, Orlando, FL, 32803, near Florida Hospital South.
