Board Certified Professionals

All of our surgeons here at Suncoast Surgical Associates are board certified. A surgeon who is board certified has passed strict requirements in education, training and certification examination. Not all surgeons are board certified. Board certification requires a surgeon to have graduated from an accredited medical school plus a training in an accredited surgical residency program. The surgeon must also pass a written examination followed by an oral examination which tests the surgeon’s judgment and decision making skills. Candidates are interviewed by very experienced surgeons.
