Key: ✓✓ the practice states it and patients mention it in reviews · patients mention it in reviews · the practice states it on its own website (self-reported, unverified) · no public mention found. A dash is not a “no” — it means we found nothing either way, so ask the practice. Board certification here is self-reported; confirm any surgeon free with the ABPS.
