Jul 15, 2023
I have been a patient of Dr.Shaak’s for 30 years. I liked her from my very first appointment when she was located on Beacon Street, Boston. Your appointment is never rushed and she takes the time to explain things to you and she answers all my questions.

What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?

A board certification represents a provider’s dedication to ongoing training in one or more specialties, including the completion of intensive exams. While not all specialties have board certifications, if your provider does have one they’ve taken the extra step to master their specialty and to keep up with the latest advancements in their field.
