As a doctor I would agree. 5% of doctors are up to date and provide high quality care. 95% are not up to date and provide low quality care. Most older doctors are grandfathered in to their specialty and do not have to take their boards but once in their life when they get out of training. So some have not taken their boards in over 30 years. Doctors in the generation after the baby boomers are not grandfathered in and have to take their boards at least every 10 years if not more often now in some specialties. So If I were you look for a doctor who graduated in 1991 or later as that is the year they stopped grandfathering. I graduated medical school in 1991. I have taken my specialty boards three times already (1997/2008/2018). Now they are moving to yearly mini-updates to stay up to date as things change too much in 10 years. None of the older doctors have to do any of this additional education and testing. They are still programming in FORTRAN.
