With the publics burgeoning desire for aesthetic and anti-aging treatments, comes the same number of providers eager 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 may 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 of the most basic criteria are well known and have been published many times elsewhere. Evaluating training, education, and board-certification are absolute basics as a result are relatively easy to influence. 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 visit. Someone’s website can get of which you the consultation chair, but what you learn filled with more informative than any brochure if you exactly what to look and listen for. I would focus on these issues:
1) Did the consultation feel like an educational experience or a sales presentation?
2) Where treatment methods 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 you are seeing shown toned man walking method to view them provided?
5) Was visiting actual patients whom have had the procedures offered as an option? Were
these patients whom have had surgery had it involving past three months so that their memories are unprocessed?
6) Finally, once home, did the doctor and his office feel right? Did the consultation enable you to be
feel more comfortable and secure in your choice?
In the end, a psychological connection which includes a sense of security is the final layer in the selection process that is built on a foundation on the doctor’s education, training and certifications.
