Surgeon - how to choose a good one
InformationQuestion:
What is the best way to choose a qualified surgeon?
Answer:
Educate yourself about your surgical procedure. Choose a specialist who has performed many of these procedures and who is board certified in his or her particular specialty. In addition, try to speak directly with some former patients -- don't just look at "before" and "after" photos.
Many disease processes and surgical procedures have support groups to assist patients. (These are good sources for advice from other patients.) Get a second opinion from another doctor once you have found someone who has recommended a particular treatment plan. In other words, make sure other surgeons would follow the same recommended plan.
Avoid choosing a surgeon from an advertisement alone, and be cautious if a doctor suggests additional or multiple surgeries.
