It is vitally important for potential patients to educate themselves in understanding, knowing and realizing the importance of obtaining facts and information about how to choose a surgeon. Patients need to understand that it is imperative to consider asking critical questions when considering the doctor that will perform their surgery or procedure.

The following questions should be asked about the surgeon’s credentials:
1) What medical/dental school did the surgeon attend?
2) In what disciplines is he/she board certified in?
3) Where and what residency did he/she study?
