Doctors

Your doctor at Associates for Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery is a Board Certified surgeon.  In order to become board certified, your doctor completed an intensive surgical residency in oral & maxillofacial surgery which included rotations in internal medicine, anesthesia, general surgery, trauma surgery, plastic surgery, otolaryngology (ENT), and Surgical ICU care.  They have also completed an intensive application and examination process.  During their application process, your doctors provided the board with written verification of their educational and training qualifications from their residency program.  Letters of recommendation were written on their behalf by board certified oral & maxillofacial surgeons attesting to their acceptable ethical and moral standing in the profession and community. Your board certified oral & maxillofacial surgeon was also required to pass both a thorough written qualifying examination and a rigorous oral certifying examination to be certified as a Diplomate of the American Board of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery.

Continuing professional education is an important tool in keeping our surgeons current on new developments in the field of oral & maxillofacial surgery.  This is accomplished through national meetings, seminars, lectures, special courses, panels, symposia, and self study.  Our surgeons are also certified in Advanced Cardiac Life Support and Basic Life Support by the American Heart Association. Our Board Certified Surgeons have a commitment to provide you with the best professional care possible.
