Resources to help you choose a dermatologist or surgeon

There are several qualities to look for when choosing a dermatologist or surgeon:

• Check the doctor’s credentials and read his/her bio; board certification is important.
• Go for a consultation, ask questions, and evaluate the doctor’s communication style.
• Look at before and after photos and read patient reviews.
• Consider insurance coverage: discuss it with the office manager.
