- State Sanctions
- Federal Sanctions
- Disciplinary Actions
Disciplinary actions are actions taken to punish or restrict physicians who have demonstrated professional misconduct. HealthGrades reports state and federal disciplinary actions (if any) from the previous 5 years except when a physician's license has been revoked or surrendered.
Physicians with a disciplinary action in one state will often move to another state where they may have a clean record. Since HealthGrades painstakingly compiles disciplinary action information from all 50 states, you'll know if a physician has an action in more than one state.
Board Certification- Is your physician board certified?
- In what specialties is your physician certified to practice?
Certification lets you know that a physician has gone above and beyond what medical licensure requires, receiving additional training and examination to be certified in a particular specialty.
A physician who is not board certified may still be an excellent physician. Some physicians choose not to apply for certification. If you are considering a doctor who is not board certified, it may be important to know why he or she is not certified.
Certification lets you know that a physician has successfully completed an accredited educational program, passed several evaluations, and possesses the knowledge, skills, and experience needed to provide care in the certified specialty. Once certified, physicians must attend continuing medical education programs throughout their careers in order to remain certified.
Education- Medical School
- Residency Training
- Internships
Physician education and training is demanding and extensive. Continuing medical education is a life-long pursuit due to constant advances and changes in medicine. With HealthGrades, you'll know if your physician is keeping up with all the latest technology.
The longer a physician has been practicing, the more likely that he or she is experienced with a wide variety of issues. A more recent graduate, however, may have in-depth knowledge about medical advances for treating a specific condition.

General SurgeryGeneral Surgery
General surgery can be performed on almost any area of the body. A general surgeon is a physician who performs surgery and provides preoperative, operative, and postoperative care to surgical patients. This surgeon can treat diseases, injuries or deformities by surgery or minimally invasive techniques, such as endoscopy, where a tiny scope is used to view internal organs or structures. The endoscope can be used during operating procedures, or before surgery, to diagnose, assess and treat problem areas.

This category of surgeons includes those who specialize in: breast, dermatologic, gastroenterologic, laparoscopic, microsurgery, and transplant surgeries.
Breast Surgeons care for patients with breast disease. They may perform biopsies to evaluate a breast lesion, cyst or bump. They specialize in lumpectomies, mastectomies, and breast reconstruction.
Dermatologic Surgeons specialize in diseases and disorders of the skin, hair, nails, and veins. They provided medical and surgical care for skin cancers, benign and malignant growths, aging and sun-damaged skin, and cosmetic improvements of the skin. Surgical techniques include traditional surgery, electrosurgery, cryosurgery, photodynamic surgery, cosmetic eyelid surgery, minimally-invasive facelift surgery, and liposuction. Laser and intensive pulsed light applications used to remove hair; resurface skin to treat wrinkles, acne scars and aging/sun damaged sink; and lighten birthmarks, pigmentations, and growths. Cosmetic improvements also include topical agents and injections such as chemical peeling, dermabrasion, dermal fillers, fat transfers, and hyaluronic acid.
Gastroenterological Surgeons specialize in diseases and disorders of the digestive system. Diseases range from appendicitis, gastro esophageal reflux disease, gastric ulcers, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, and cancers of the stomach, liver, colon, and pancreas. Surgical procedures include the repair or removal of any digestive system organs.
Laparoscopic Surgeons specialize in the minimally invasive surgery that uses thin instruments with the assistance of a video camera. Only small incisions around a half inch are needed to insert instruments. The camera transmits images of the organs on a monitor for the surgeon to see and perform the procedure. Benefits of laparoscopic surgery compared to open surgical procedures are less pain, quicker recovery times, earlier return to activities, shorter hospitals stays, smaller scars, and less internal scarring.
Microsurgeons specialize in microsurgery which is surgery performed on blood vessels, nerves, tubes, and other very small structures. Microsurgery involves using a microscope to help see small, delicate structures during surgery. Microsurgeons practice in a variety of fields including: ophthalmology (eye doctors) for removing cataracts, corneal transplants, and other eye treatments; plastic surgery to reconstruct damaged or disfigured skin, muscles and nerves or transplanted skin from other parts of the body; neurosurgery to treat vascular abnormalities of the brain including cancerous tumors; and surgery to reattach amputated body parts.
Transplant Surgeons specialize in transplant surgery. Transplant surgery involves removing a healthy organ, tissue, or blood products from a donor and surgically placing it in a recipient patient. Transplant surgery is for patients with end-stage diseases who have no other treatment options. Organ transplant surgeries include heart, liver, kidney and lung transplants. Transplant surgeries often involve microsurgery techniques to connect and repair delicate structures.
