Guest guest Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 Does anyone know of a good resource for checking up on the backgrounds of surgeons? I'd like info on how many operations they've performed of a certain type, if they've ever been sued, etc. I'm sure their place of business has some info, but I'd like to find another resource...

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 I would suggest for one the Better Business Bureau, and then Dept of Health website, any violations reported to them will be posted. And then I would suggest a google search bec I recently had to research nursing facilities/rehab centers for family and even though I heard about 1-2 popular sites, they were good, but gov't run and when I personally dug into google, I found some private sites that offered some terrific additional-and more recent info. So glad to see you're doing your homework...that's the best thing you can do for you. Too much blind trust is not always a good thing as I see it, I have witnessed to many miscommunications, and wrong doings by medical folks when patients don't work as a team with the drs and staff...good luck!
