Patient Reviews
Mar 31, 2021
I would give him 20/10 if I could. I had to have an emergency bowel resection surgery and he made me feel so at ease. He answered all of my questions (and many follow up questions) and was kind and understanding (and even a little funny, which I appreciate).

What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?

A board certification represents a provider’s dedication to ongoing training in one or more specialties, including the completion of intensive exams. While not all specialties have board certifications, if your provider does have one they’ve taken the extra step to master their specialty and to keep up with the latest advancements in their field.
