Mrs. Owens---- I'm not a doctor, but you might check to see if they meant "board certified" which is differrent from being licensed to practice, I think. It is my understanding that board certification means they have passed specific testing, etc. I decided against one doctor who was not board certified, even though she was probably fine--- I was told she was preparing for the test---I think she was a "new" doctor. I still chose not to go with her because I didn't want to be part of her "practice" group!!!
