Choosing a surgeon
Choosing the right surgeon may be the most important decision you make. The surgeon who performs your procedure will also be part of your support team for years to come, so it’s important for you to feel at ease with him or her. The staff at your surgeon’s office will also be an important part of your support team. Your goal is to make sure that you feel well supported by the entire surgical practice right from the start.
Ask Questions
To help you determine if the proposed surgery is right for you, we’ve compiled a list of topics. We encourage you to add to this list and to ask as many questions as you want.
Top criteria for choosing a surgeon
Some of the most important considerations when choosing a surgeon include:
- The surgeon’s experience
The surgeons’ experience performing the procedures: Experienced surgeons have been shown to report significantly lower surgery complication rates and shorter operating times. You are entitled to ask about the number of procedures a surgeon has performed and the clinical outcomes data.
- Your confidence in the surgeon
You may want to take the opportunity to speak with the surgeon’s patients. Patients willing to refer family, friends, and other interested candidates are a good indication of the surgeon’s quality.
- The surgeon’s commitment to your success
Your surgeon should provide long-term care with follow-up appointments, information, and support resources programs. This allows your surgeon to step in precisely when needed to keep you on track. Ask your surgeon how he or she will help you achieve and maintain a healthier tomorrow.
- The staff at the surgeon’s office
Your surgical team will include the surgeon and members of the surgeon’s office staff. You will work closely with this team before and long after surgery, so it’s important for you to meet everyone and talk about how you will work together to help you reach your goals.
- Whether the surgeon is part of your insurance network
If you have health insurance, we recommend contacting your insurance provider to see if the surgeon you choose and the surgery you select are covered by your plan. Choosing a surgeon that is part of your insurance network can help reduce out-of-pocket costs. If you need assistance, we can show you how to work with your insurance provider.
To find the surgeons who meet your needs, we encourage you to sit with them and attend their information seminars. You will learn about surgical options, you will meet the surgical team members who will support you before and long after your surgery, and you may also hear from patients who have had the same type of surgery you plan on having. There’s no pressure to make a commitment and no better way to get your questions answered.
If you do NOT feel that the surgical clinic hosting the seminar fits your needs, we encourage you to attend another seminar in your area. Many people find it helpful to attend more than one and obtain other opinions before they choose a surgeon.
