Is your urologist board certified? If you don’t know, you should ask.
The American Board of Urology awards certification … and recertification … to those individuals who meet specific qualifications to assure every patient that their physician has not only received appropriate training, but that he or she also has the level of urologic knowledge to practice safe and effective urology.
Board certification is a rigorous credentialing process that a urologist seeks, usually after completing a residency and training or fellowship … and then maintains. It confirms that the urologist satisfies the standards for high-quality practice. It includes a written and live exam. For patients, it adds an extra assurance of quality.
Board certification is not mandatory, but at USLV all of our physicians are board certified, and we take it very seriously. We want our patients to be confident that the doctor they are seeing has passed the urology boards and maintains certification as the years go by. They trust us with their health … so we do everything we possibly can to earn that trust.
