How to Choose an ENT Surgeon — Questions Worth Asking
Whichever surgeon you consult, these questions are reasonable to ask, and a good practice will answer them plainly:
- What is your specific training in the procedure I need, and where did you obtain it?
- How regularly do you perform this procedure?
- What are the realistic outcomes, risks and recovery times in my case?
- What non-surgical options should I consider first?
- Which professional bodies are you a member of?
No surgeon can promise a specific outcome, and any practice that does should be treated with caution. What a good surgeon can offer is relevant training, honest discussion of risk, and a clear explanation of your options.
