So much to know when you are reviewing all the tubal reversal doctors in order to pick the best one for you. You have to get so much information because something very important depends upon it – your new baby. Below you will find some things to help you.
Choosing a doctor does mean learning a lot, but really you want a doctor who will listen to you and answer your questions. In addition, it’s very good to know what his other patients have to say about him. Do they recommend him?
But to begin at the beginning, you will want to know about his education and training. What schools did he attend? Where did he do his residency? Who trained him to be a tubal reversal specialist? Does he specialize in tubal reversals?
Next you want to know about his experience. How many of these surgeries does he do weekly? Or are you going to have to ask for yearly? By that, I mean he can only tell you he has done two surgeries in the last year so a weekly number is not something he can produce.
Who does your doctor associate with? Now, I’m not asking about his friends outside of work. What we need to know is how good are his staff, the anesthesiologist, and the surgical team? Are they the same people he works with every week and who, therefore, know what is going on? Or, in the case of the one hit wonder, does he get just whoever is working the day your surgery is scheduled whom he may have never worked with before?
Do you get the feeling that the doctor you are reviewing is happy to be helping you? Do you feel like you are just infringing on his already too busy day? Will he or someone from his staff answer your questions? Can you get your answers from other means besides just calling his office and hoping someone will call you back? Can you contact him or his staff at a time other than 8-5 Monday through Friday?
What about contacting the other women who have been this doctor’s patients? Can you by some means like a message board? Does he even have enough patients to have a tubal reversal message board? What do they think of this doctor and his staff? Where are the testimonials from other patients?
Who knows which of the tubal reversal doctors will be the best for you but at least now you have something to get you started. In my opinion, having a doctor who listens to and responds to you will be for the best as long as his training, education and experience back it up. That’s where the recommendations from previous patients will help.
