Selecting a Surgeon?

You have the final decision on who performs your surgery.

If your internist or family ­doctor ever tells you it’s time to see a surgeon, please remember that you are the one who ­ultimately selects your surgeon. Although he or she may make a referral or help you make a ­decision, the final ­decision is yours.

He adds that most elective surgical needs are negotiable up front, and their office is happy to do the negotiations for you.
