It depends what you mean by saying "to trust a surgeon"
100% trust ? no never. A surgeon who is gonna help you first time rarely will do that second time if you need correction. That's the true. In 50% cases they will refuse to help you or they will hide the errors and you will find out when it will be too late...
There are some really good people, but it's rare
Remember. Most surgeons are good.....when the surgery outcome is OK
Of course you have to choose someone if you really need surgery... but remember, I would say the surgeons are specific people
It's better to see some reviews, but at the same time it tells nothing. You can find many good surgeon without opinions
However if you can't find any his patient and at the same time other doctors do not know him and additionally you can't find any papers of his work on the internet, then really think twice about choosing him - if the risk is not too big
7 years is almost nothing to be honest.
Have you seen at least his before after photos ?
This doctor I see there is very patient, I feel very comfortable in the consultation.
Mine too and now I barely can contact with him if I'm worried about some things
All surgeons are so good before surgery.. The question is how he is after surgery especially with complications
Ask your surgeon about personal phone number (to work)
We will see how "good" he is
