Background check before selecting a doctor?

We Answered:

For free, check out http://www.crimcheck.com , they have an extensive free public records section.

But since you would have to do the research yourself which can lead to missing out on information, I would recomend http://www.easybackgroundchecks.com , they offer statewide background checks for $15. They also offer nationwide background checks for $30

How can I find out if a doctor is legit?

Just Google him, all his stuff will come up.

Tanya Said:

Plastic surgeons I want to know where to find...?

We Answered:

There are several sites out there that you can get a background check. I'd suggest searching some public records to see what you can find.

You'll spin your wheels trying to find this information for free, but many sites offer this service for a reasonably priced fee.

I found a site that reviews some of the popular sites.

I'd suggest getting informed before you buy.

Plastic Surgeons Where do I find?

We Answered:

Doing Research:

Before your consultation, check out your plastic surgeon. Many plastic and cosmetic surgeons (or group practices) have their own websites. These sites usually give information about the surgeon’s educational background and training, specialties, office locations and directions, and office hours.

If the plastic surgeon is certified by a medical specialty board, which is a national professional organization, you can usually check that certification at that medical specialty board’s website. You can also check on a surgeon with your state’s medical board, which is the government agency in each state that licenses physicians. (A state medical board and a medical specialty board are two different things. Every doctor must be licensed by a state medical board, but not every doctor is certified by a medical specialty board.

At your consultation:

The reason you are consulting with a cosmetic surgeon is to determine if cosmetic surgery is right for you. You should think of the consultation as an information-gathering mission. The most important information you will get from the consultation is a general feel for the surgeon and his or her office staff. You should feel that you are being treated well by the receptionist and other staff members, not just the surgeon.

Where can I get a free meter?

We Answered:

http://www.accu-chek.com/index.html this is where you found the infor last night.

Check with your insurance company as to which meter they support or it gets really pricey to get the strips.

The Accu-chek they have for free is a great meter. It has a high degree of accuracy. it is right with the labs BCBS uses.

If you check your insurance company they may support that meter and may not. If they do, they pay for the meter and most of the cost of the testing strips.

I have Accu-chek and One Touch mini meters. Love them both.

there are a couple of cons with each of them too. One touch must be coded to the strips number. It is easy enough for most intelligent people to do. Accu-chek has a little chip that goes into the meter before using its strips that match that chip. Fairly easy for most intelligent people also.

http://www.onetouchdiabetes.com/ultramin… is the site to check out the gorgeous colors of the minis and to order them. But you can also get the basic ones at the drug stores.
