Thank you so much! I do have another question- my physician graduated in 2005 and completed his residency in 2011. He is not set to take his boards until November but has been practicing here for 2 years. I hear everyone saying that the Dr needs to be board certified but if they haven't been able to take their boards yet, is that okay?
***Updated Information***
I posted this before I met him or spoke with his office. It was the best decision I could have made going with him. He was honestly the best Doctor I have ever had. I wish there was some way he could be my PCP. My experience using him was amazing. He is such a humble physician and made my whole family feel involved with the process of my tummy tuck and lipo. He was always willing to answer any questions I had at anytime, day or night. Please don't let a physician not yet being board certified because he hasn't been in practice longer enough to influence your decision. We all have to start somewhere. Thank you
