I am currently shopping around in my insurances website for a new OBGYN, some of the doctors have only….
Provider Role:

OBSTETRICS & GYNECOLOGY RECERTIFICATION
Beginning in 2006, all physicians who are newly certified will be required to meet the new ABPS Standards for Recertification. See ABPS Standards for Recertification. Click Here to view a copy of the brochure or Click here to download a PDF copy of the brochure. Physicians who were initially certified prior to 2006 will not have to meet the new recertification requirements until after their next recertification.
ABPS will accept Diplomates certified by the Boards that are part of The American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) or the Association Bureau of Osteopathic Specialists (AOABOS) as candidates for recertification with ABPS in any specialty in which ABPS currently certifies physicians.

You should get a doctor that is certified. Ideally, you should go to your local hospital and ask for the names of their OB/GYNs and get the information on the practice that they work for. This will ensure that you have a good doctor.
