Dr. Joel Roskind
Dr. Joel Roskind has been a very successful surgeon and teacher for over 30 years. His dedication to the patients well being above all else has been a major contributing factor to his success and one that he has been extremely passionate about.
Dr. Joel Roskind has held several positions over the years that have enabled him to ensure the safety and well being of both his patients and others. He worked with the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities(AAAASF, or quad A) as a Facility Inspector. Part of his duties were to examine the free standing ambulatory surgical facilities to assure 100% compliance with the rigid safety criteria established by the quad A. The quad A quickly became the gold standard for certification of these facilities. Dr. Roskind did this work because he believed strongly that patients needed to be protected by stringent standards.
Today, Dr. Joel Roskind works as a consultant to physicians and surgeons helping them prepare their ambulatory surgical facilities for certification. He also acts as a consultant to other physicians, and shares his knowledge and expertise with those who seek his help and advice in setting up their practice to be efficient and successful.
