Keys To Finding The Right Cosmetic Surgeon For Your Medical Needs

By Lou Thompson


Locating a family cosmetic surgeon is an investment. You need to find a surgeon who will truly listen to your concerns and work with you in meeting the health needs of you and your family. In fact, finding the right surgeon is one of the best things that you can do for you and your family. Keep these suggestions in mind as you do your search.

If your cosmetic surgeon's office is in a different area code than you, make sure you inquire about the availability of a toll-free number. Those are always the best to use, especially that these calls can be long and expensive if you're using their direct numbers. Toll-free numbers can save you a lot of money.

There are times in our lives where we need to see a cosmetic surgeon right away, yet our primary surgeon is not available. So what do you? Well, you do not try to find a new surgeon because they do not know your health situation. The best option is to try to get in and simply see the nurse or surgeon's assistant whom you see with the surgeon. They will know some of your history and can at the very least look you over.

Insurance fraud is illegal in all instances, especially when it comes to health insurance. This is something that you should always keep in mind. Violators of this law will be prosecuted and may face jail time and hefty fines.

If you have a problem with a treatment plan, it's your right to say so. If a cosmetic surgeon disagrees and refuses to change course, you must part ways with that surgeon. You have a say in your care.

A good cosmetic surgeon will have up-to-date progress notes and test results for their patients. If the patient comes in for an appointment, they will not need to use appointment time to update their chart. A surgeon cannot be effective for a patient if they do not have the latest patient data.

If you receiving treatment from a cosmetic surgeon, a kept thing to pay attention to is the surgeons demeanor, if they are showing signs of irritation, complicated language and stance, there may be some doubt about what he is saying. Make sure that you are paying attention to this, and if you witness these actions, report them and seek other medical attention.

Ask your cosmetic surgeon if he maintains a medical blog, or is on Facebook, Twitter or the like. Some surgeons put out a newsletter of developments in the field, or seminars they have attended, and may put general information which a patient, and the public, may find useful. Your surgeon's office also might post his schedule online or send you a private email regarding office hours, holiday closings, vacation, etc.
