General Verification of a Physician's Board Certification
The American Board of Ophthalmology is the primary resource for verifying that an ophthalmologist is Board Certified. The Board does not provide general verification of a physician's certification by telephone. If you require a formal written verification of a physician’s certification you must submit a written request to the American Board of Ophthalmology. Your request must include the physician’s name and a check in the amount of $35 made payable to the American Board of Ophthalmology.
If you do not require written verification, you can find out whether an ophthalmologist is certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology by utilizing one of the following methods:
- Refer to the publication The Official American Board of Medical Specialties Directory of Board Certified Medical Specialists (ABMS). This publication of Marquis Who’s Who can be found in regional, main or medical libraries.
- Use the ABMS web page at www.abms.org.
- Verify the certification of any medical specialist certified by one of the 24 medical specialty boards of the ABMS by calling 1-866-ASK-ABMS (275-2267).
