What Does It Mean if Your Surgeon is Not a Member of the American Medical Association?

Asked By:HopeRenee in Indiana, IN

I have been looking into getting Fat Transfer to my breats to correct their tuberousity and increase cup size. It seemed too good to be true when I came across a doctor. However, I have looked him up on the American Medical Association and he is NOT a member. What does this mean and why should he be a member? I always hear warnings against doctors who are not members of AMA. Does anyone have any advice?
