With the publics burgeoning desire for aesthetic and anti-aging treatments, comes an equal number of providers wanting to fill those needs. In days gone by, patients choose their cosmetic doctors primarily by word-of-mouth. Doctor reputations were earned by results and longevity in reality. While this still has significant importance today, the of paper and visual media and in particular the internet, has enabled a doctor to shape his credibility and reputation way ahead of what years of experience could similarly do. Such digital and electronic exposure could be extremely helpful or will probably be potentially deceiving to prospective patients.
Beyond the glitzy advertisements, well-crafted websites, and free seminars with wine and food, what are some helpful criteria that can guide patients on whom to trust to undergo the cosmetic knife, needle, or laser? Many for this most basic criteria are known and have been published many times anywhere. Evaluating training, education, and board-certification are absolute basics and you are relatively easy to distinguish. Of this group, the most important question is.are you board-certified.and in what specialty? Once past these basics, however, the next confidence level can only be gained in an actual meeting. Someone’s website can get of which you the consultation chair, but what you learn vacationing more informative than any brochure if you know what to look and listen for. I would concentrate on these issues:
1) Did the consultation feel like an educational experience or a sales presentation?
2) Where treatment protocols presented and reviewed.or was only one treatment approach
offered?
3) Was time given to answer all your questions below.and a way to respond to your questions that may
arise after?
4) Were actual before and after procedure photos done by the doctor a person seeing shown or a method to view them provided?
5) Was referring with actual patients whom have had the procedures offered regarding option? Were
these patients whom have had surgery had it inside of past three months so that their memories are unprocessed?
6) Finally, once home, did the doctor and his office feel right? Did the consultation provide you
feel softer and secure in your decision?
In the end, a difficult connection and a sense of security may be the final layer in the choices process the actual built on the foundation with the doctor’s education, training and certifications.
