He is detail oriented in giving results of your surgery. But it's a no brian*er from him if you decide not to do chemo, if he recommends it. Just have to follow your own instincts. Just thankful he got all my bad stuff.

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.
