FIND OUT IF YOUR DOCTOR IS CERTIFIED
The American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology will verify the certification status of obstetricians and gynecologists in response to a letter or fax to the Board Office.
See the Frequently Asked Questions related to Status / Verification of Certification for more details.
VERIFICATION FROM THE AMERICAN BOARD OF MEDICAL SPECIALTIES
Verification of whether a physician is certified or not is also available from the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS), either by calling 1-866-ASK-ABMS (866 275-2267) or online.
The ABMS can only give you information if a physician is certified or recertified. They cannot give the various completed phases of a physician if he or she is not yet certified.
Also, the ABMS does not have the names of all certified physicians. Prior to 1986, physicians had the right not to be listed in outside directories. A small percentage of physicians have chosen not to be published.
