Boards certification in foot surgery provides assurance to my patients that I, as a surgeon have a high level of education, training, certification, and also that I continue to stay up on the latest medical and surgical techniques. This assures patients that they are having the highest level of care and surgical treatment. In addition, to be a Fellow of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgery, the surgeon must be board-certified. The American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery (ABFAS) provides certification for those Doctors/Surgeons who submit cases and pass the written and oral examinations. After the initial examination, approximately every 10 years a recertification examination is required.
In February 2020, I completed the recertification exam, and I just received notice that I successfully passed examination and am officially "recertified". As mentioned, this is for Board Certification in Foot Surgery by the American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery.
