If you have a medical issue or need a surgical procedure, you want to find a doctor with the highest level of training and specialization possible.  To practice medicine in the U.S., doctors are required to have a medical license; however, that license doesn’t indicate a doctor’s qualifications for practicing within an area of specialty, such as Dermatology or Urology.  If a doctor is Board Certified, it means that he or she has received additional training, and participates in activities that ensure they’re current with the latest advances in medical and patient care.
