Wedding Recap and Withdrawal

Professional and Worried About Name Change

I am a physician who works in Boston and is getting married in March.  I would love to honor my future husband by changing my name to his, but am struggling with the career implications of that at this stage in the game (networking, publishing, etc). 

Does anyone know if I change my last name to Maiden HisName (non-hyphenated, two word last name) legally when I get married (and register that way through social security), is it possible to just go by Maiden Name at work and not have to change all of my documentation (medical license, registration, diploma, etc)?  

Please help!  Everyone seems to have a different story on this!
