Is your doctor Board Certified?
Do not assume all doctors are Board Certified, actually, many of them are not. Board Certification goes above and beyond basic medical licensure. A new study on the quality of physician care provides strong evidence on the benefit of medical specialty Board Certification and their requirement for continuous professional educational development programs, such as the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) Maintenance of Certification (MOC) program.
When you choose a doctor who is Board Certified by one of the ABMS Member Boards, you can be confident he or she meets nationally recognized standards for education, knowledge, experience and skills to provide high quality care in their specific medical specialty. Dr. John Kuo meets these national standards and is double Board Certified. When you need the best health care or medical treatment, you want the most qualified doctor dedicated to providing outstanding care.
Please protect yourself and your family by checking whether your doctor is Board Certified at ABMS's official website: www.certificationmatters.org and follow these simple steps: Create an account, then enter the doctor's name and state of practice (Infertility is not listed as a choice of medical specialty). The doctor's name will be listed in red, so just click on the name and his/her Board Certification(s) will be listed. If you do not see the words “Reproductive Endocrinology / Infertility”, that means this doctor is not an American Infertility Board Certified doctor. If the doctor cannot be found, then this doctor is not Board Certified in any medical specialty.
