"In this clip we'll talk about choosing a surgeon to perform your operation. There are several ways to try to vet or understand or research for a surgeon, and certainly what you should be looking for is board certification. Board certification by an American Board and the American Board of Medical Specialties is the main American Board. The American Board of Plastic Surgery is the main organization for board-certified plastic surgeons in this country. You can get that information, and then you should find out through your local Medical Society, as far as whether the physician is involved at his local hospital. Most doctors are required to have some affiliation with a local hospital, which insures that there has been some degree of peer review, where their peers, other medical doctors have some sense of what they do. And if there is, or there happens to be a problem after the surgery, and a complication occurs, that a patient will be taken care of by that doctor and if need be, in the hospital. So, these are very important considerations. Then of course, getting a personal reference, a friend of yours, a relative that has been to that doctor, is always a very helpful and comforting factor, in choosing a doctor for your procedure."
