requiring a valid medical license, there are no state regulations
governing doctors who perform plastic surgery in their office.
Recently patients of the Vista physician, William Watkins M.D.,
have asserted that Watkins failed to follow the customary practice
of using general anesthesia for plastic surgery, according to
civil lawsuits filed since 2001 and an accusation by the Medical
