Choosing a Facial Plastic Surgeon


Patients understandably want a surgeon with impressive credentials such as Dr. Churchill has; however, credentials alone are no guarantee of surgical excellence. The consultation is a great time to assess a surgeon's demeanor and approach to things. Ask yourself these questions: During the consultation process does the surgeon explain things and really listen to your concerns? Do they demonstrate an attention to detail? How experienced is the the surgeon with your particular procedure? Can you see realistic before and after photos of their patients? Do you personally know someone who has had surgery from the surgeon or can you meet a real patient? In short, take your time and be comfortable with your decision. We are confident that if you choose to see us in consultation, you will be glad you did.
