What does it mean to be fellowship-trained?

It means a physician or surgeon completed 1 year of advanced training in a specific field AFTER finishing their residency.  Pioneer Peak is the only clinic in the state where all of our doctors have done so, making them specialists in their chosen field and board certified!
