Plastic Surgeon

plastic surgeon informationChoosing a qualified plastic surgeon with the right credentials is critical to achieving a successful outcome. Perhaps you are looking for someone with a good bedside manner, current magazines in the waiting room or a sharp dresser. Some may look for the most expensive physician, yet others look for the least expensive. To some people, training reputation, and word-of-mouth are preferred criteria for selecting a physician. iEnahnce also has a " Physician Locator " to help guide you in choosing a well-trained physician by location, procedure or name.

Some of the most important checks you should do before scheduling an appointment with a plastic surgeon should be:

  • Verify the education of the physician.
  • Verify Board Certification of physician.
  • Verify participation in continuing education programs.
  • Verify the physician is licensed to practice medicine in the state he/she is located.
  • Check past or pending civil or criminal actions.
  • Alternatively, you may use a Physician Credential Verification company to conduct the checks for you. (i.e. www.searchpointe.com )

Selecting a board-certified physician assures you that the doctor has completed extensive training and passed rigorous examinations in his/her specialty. However, this does not guarantee that you will obtain the exact results that you desire. Carefully read about the procedure in the Procedure Description section, understand the risks associated with the procedure, and perhaps obtain a second opinion from another physician. In sum, thoroughly research the physician and procedure before proceeding. You will be better informed and be able to ask more informed and pertinent questions. But most importantly, enjoy your new look!
