His lack of board certification is a personal choice that he made, not something that was denied to him. He has an aversion to spending $ needlessly. He keeps his office visit fee low to facilitate people with no or poor insurance. He also has a sign in his office stating that he does not carry medical malpractice insurance. If you meet with him, he will explain those two decisions to you.

I'm sure you've read my posts about him if you have done a search on him. His work at Mass General in Boston and experience with the many different medical conditions encountered there make him very qualified, in my mind. As I mentioned in an earlier post, he recognized an uncommon vascular disease in a family member and took quick action to avoid organ damage. There was only one symptom, but he knew it from experience.
