It's a rare thing to find a doctor who makes you feel confident in his expertise and confident that he cares, especially in meeting him for the first time. I have no concerns going into my cataract surgery.

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.
