Researching a doc

[mom2denise 0]

Everyone tells me to be sure I research a doctor before I decide to let them to do surgery. How do I do that? I have looked at their website, but obviously there will nothing negative. I want to know the negatives (no one is perfect) as well as the positives.

mom2denise, I would post another thread with the doctor's name to see if you get any posts on their experiences. How many lapbands has he/she done?

do a search on yahoo or google w/ the name.... then do a search w/ "name problems complaints"
