Re: Background checks on docs

January 22, 2004

Hi, I did a backround check on my doc, who came to me very highly

recommended and has done over 700 procedures (UFE's). On his

websight it listed his board certification, but on this check, it

said he was not board certified!!! I was really upset and

confused. Like I'm not confused enough as it is, now I have to

deal with this. I'm a little afraid to start asking questions and

raising suspisions at this point. They have been so wonderful and

have always answered all my questions. I think I've decided to

leave it alone. By the way, the websight is www.healthgrades.com

or HealthGrades,Inc - The health Quality Experts
