She was my doctor in 2004-2006. When other doctors couldn't give my parents an answer on what was wrong, she never gave up and was apart of the operation that let me walk again without pain. I will always keep Dr. Besner in my heart and prayers.

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.
