Some doctors may not tell you their true board
certification, training, number of lawsuits pending, infection rate, complication
rate, drug/alcohol history or disciplinary history, even if you ask. But there
are several pertinent questions regarding skin cancer that you should always ask
before a doctor performs a given procedure upon you.
These questions are:
- What treatments were you formally trained at a university
to administer?
- Where did you train in that (those) procedure(s)?
- How many have you done?
- Most importantly, what is your recurrence
or failure
rate with the planned procedure?
If you don't want to trouble your doctor with anything
else, ask question #4. If what the doctor says does not correlate with the information
in this website, seek another doctor's opinion. If you are too timid to ask
the question or afraid of offending the doctor, bring a friend or relative who
can ask or call for you.
