Watch out...

.If you are not given informed consent documents that define your procedure specifically.

.If the doctor is willing to perform surgery without a health evaluation first.

.If you are offered special pricing to commit to surgery right away.

.If you are not given, prior to treatment, pre- and post-procedure instructions and cautions.

.If your doctor trivializes the risks involved with your procedure.

.If the doctor makes guarantees or unrealistic promises.

.If the doctor is willing to perform or suggests unrelated, multiple extensive procedures. Remember, an Extreme Makeover marathon of surgery like a tummy tuck, ÊÊÊÊliposuction, breast procedure and facelift in one surgical session puts you at risk.

.If the doctor tells you what you need before listening to what you want.

.If the office, doctor or staff are disorganized and disheveled.

.If pricing is not outlined prior to treatment. The only variables in pricing should be related to operating room time, anesthesia and unexpected events.

.If anyone other than the doctor who will perform your procedure examines you and defines a course of treatment.
