Choosing the Right Surgeon:

Expertise is demonstrated by board certification and membership in associations for professionals. Patient Testimonials and Reviews: Reading patient testimonials and reviews will provide you with a better understanding of the surgeon’s qualifications, demeanor on the operating table, and level of patient satisfaction.
