Dr. Edward D. Buckingham, MD, has been recognized in Texas Super Doctors 2025, as featured in Texas Monthly, a distinction that reinforces his standing as one of the region’s most respected facial plastic surgeons. As a double board-certified surgeon, President-elect of the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, and Fellowship Director with the AAFPRS, Dr. Buckingham’s inclusion reflects decades of dedicated leadership in advanced facial aesthetics and reconstructive care. Let’s explore how this recognition highlights the exceptional expertise patients can expect at the Buckingham Center for Facial Plastic Surgery.
What Texas Super Doctors Represents
The Texas Monthly Super Doctors list is a highly regarded annual recognition, published every December, honoring outstanding physicians across 40 medical specialties in Texas. The selection is based on a rigorous process starting with peer nominations, where doctors recommend others they trust. Candidates are then thoroughly evaluated based on their professional achievement and disciplinary history. This exclusive group represents the top 5% of all active physicians in Texas.
Dr. Buckingham is exclusively recognized as the only double-board certified facial plastic surgeon in Austin on the 2025 Super Doctor's list. Being featured demonstrates that his contributions to facial plastic surgery stand out even within an elite statewide pool of expert healthcare providers, highlighting the high level of skill, consistency, and ethical standards that the Buckingham Center is renowned for.
Why Dr. Buckingham Stands Out
Dr. Buckingham's impressive medical journey began with his exceptional performance in medical school, where he graduated in the top 2% from University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston Doctor of Medicine with Highest Honors. As Fellowship Director of Buckingham Center, he guides a chosen surgeon each year, providing thorough training, technical knowledge, and the surgical skills needed for success. His leadership and qualifications highlight the distinguishing attributes recognized in Texas Monthly’s Texas Super Doctors 2025 feature.
As the only facial plastic surgeon in Austin on the 2025 list who holds double board certification in both facial plastic surgery and otolaryngology, he represents a level of expertise unique within the region:
