Most legitimate practices will provide references (with their permission) of patients who had this procedure done. People in general are more than happy to share their experiences. Also, it's pretty easy these days to check the reputation of a doctor or clinic to see if they've had complaints filed against them. In smaller communities, word of mouth can be helpful.

I wish I would have specifically asked about follow-up care. I guess I assumed this was part of the procedure. If I would have had a 3month or 6 month follow-up, my lead migration would have been detected much sooner.

I hear alot of people saying that they feel like their doctor didn't seem to care much once they got their huge chunk of $$ - and I do mean HUGE.
Not everybody tho. Some people have a fantastic medical team.

My doctor is extremely arrogant and I always felt rushed.

It seems there is no such thing as too much researching when it comes to this.
