Dr. Ellis was successful in completing the AACD's written examination. This is the first step towards receiving the prestigious AACD accreditation. He will now begin the clinical case submission process, which will last several years. He has committed to this process in an effort to stay abreast of the most recent cosmetic procedures and refine the techniques he offers his patients.
