A huge congratulations to our own Dr. Rachel Appelblatt who is now board certified and formally a Diplomate of the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery!!! The American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (ABOMS) is the certifying board for the specialty of oral and maxillofacial surgery in the United States and is recognized and approved by the Council on Dental Education of the American DentalAssociation. Board certification is the distinction that an oral and maxillofacial surgeon has passed a very intensive application and examination process that demonstrates the doctor’s experience and knowledge required to practice in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Congratulations to Rachel once again for this prestigious certification!
