| Re: How to check out a surgeon?
Your health insurance company may have a website where you can look up doctor quality. You could also probably call them and ask them if they have a rating on them and they could perhaps tell you verbally - since digging around for that info might be hard for you because I know you are having a hard time sitting at the computer lately. Other than that, the only other way I know is those websites where you pay money for that info, but I never went that route so I don't know how relayable they are. I'm sure all doc's have a black mark somewhere - but maybe not... I just don't know cuz I never did that. Otherwise - knowing the group name your doc has with his associates might help. Or you can look up the hospital websites. I know my doc has a profile on two websites at two different hospitals we works out of - but it didin't show any ratings, just his schooling and such - but sometimes they go into more detail, it might be worth a shot.
