Check with your state's medical license board. If the surgeon has any complaints, or malpractice suits, they should tell you. If not check with state and local court dockets, that's how I found mine. Good Luck

With Lasik surgery, you truly want a physician who will spend "face to face" time with you. That means the actual surgeon, not just a technical assistant or surgical coordinator. If you meet with the surgeon for only 4 minutes, how thorough do you really know them, and (maybe more importantly) how thoroughly can they possibly know you?\n\nYou are investing money and trust in your surgeon, and you should expect a standard of care above and beyond a cursory consultation. \n\nComplications can occur with ANY type of surgery...What is important is this: Do you fully understand the potential complications and  your personal risk profile (albeit quite small in most cases) and have you been properly educated in this regard? \n\nHas your surgeon patiently addressed all of your questions and concerns?\n\nIf a complication occurs, will you be able to contact your surgeon personally or will you be filtered through a system of technicians, office personnel, etc.? \n\nA confident and reliable surgeon will openly and PERSONALLY discuss the surgical procedure, risks, expected postoperative course, and reasonable expectations of visual outcomes BEFORE asking you to sign a consent form. \n\nYOU DESERVE THIS LEVEL OF ATTENTION AND RESPECT AND SHOULD SETTLE FOR NOTHING LESS.

Doctors, or physicians, are specially trained and licensed individuals who practice medicine. A doctor may be either a doctor of medicine (M.D.) or a doctor of osteopathy (D.O.). Osteopathy uses traditional medicine but focuses on the role of muscles and bones in health and disease. A doctor's job has three parts. First, the doctor must diagnose, or identify, what is making a person sick. Second, the doctor must decide how to treat the problem. Finally, the doctor offers a prognosis, or a prediction of the patient's chances of recovery. Doctors also try to prevent illnesses. In addition to doctors, the medical team includes nurses, therapists, physician assistants, and emergency medical technicians.\n\n\nA doctor's education and training are intensive. In the United States, a student spends three to four years in college and then another three to four years in medical school. After graduating from medical school, the student serves as a resident in a hospital. During this period the student receives practical training in a specific area under the guidance of experienced doctors. Residency can last three to seven years, depending on the specialty. Doctors can specialize in areas such as internal medicine, family medicine, or general surgery.

Depends on the specific surgery being performed and whether they are going in by scope or opening you completely up. Some physicians will do a rhynoplasty along with another surgery, but it is physician dependent and even then decided on a case by case basis. When you go in for your consultation ask your physician if s/he is willing and if you are a candidate.

To make sure someone can do something.  I mean really do it not just pass a paper and pencil test on the subject but actually perform it.  Like you want to make sure a doctor can actually DO that surgery, not just answer questions correctly on a test about how to do the surgery.  When it is something that must be performed you need proficiency testing.

Surgeons care for patients who may need an operation. Patients are referred from other hospital doctors, general practitioners or are admitted through the accident and emergency department. Surgeons diagnose the problem and decide on appropriate action, operate, and monitor the patient after the operation. \n\nSurgeons require in-depth knowledge of physiology, biochemistry, pathology and anatomy, and work in one of the nine surgical specialities including cardiothoracic surgery, general surgery, neurosurgery and plastic surgery.\n\nThe job of a consultant surgeon includes seeing patients in the outpatient clinic, leading a team of nurses and other doctors in the operating theatre, and making ward rounds to see patients before and after surgery. They make notes for patient records and write letters to general practitioners, advising them of their patients' condition and treatment. \n\nThey are also responsible for training and supervising more junior doctors and other health care professionals in the hospital. Some surgeons carry out research and write papers for publication. \n\nTo be a surgeon you should:\n\nhave an interest in and concern for the well-being of patients\nhave excellent communication skills\nbe able to put people at their ease and inspire their trust and confidence\nwork well in and be able to lead a team\nbe able to work under pressure and make quick clear decisions\nwork consistently to high professional standards\nbe prepared to continually update your knowledge and learn new techniques\nhave excellent practical skills and manual dexterity\nbe able to train, teach and supervise staff\nhave an interest and ability in science\n\nTo become a doctor you must study for a medical degree recognised by the General Medical Council (GMC). Please contact the GMC for details of universities. You must also undergo a police check. \n\nThe usual entry requirement for a five-year degree in medicine is three A levels at grades ABB including maths and two science subjects. In Scotland you would need five H grades, and two science Advanced Highers, one of which must be chemistry. Other qualifications are accepted in certain circumstances. \n\nThe six-year courses, with a one-year pre-medical course, are designed for students who have not had the opportunity to study science subjects. In all cases, GCSEs/S grades and subjects are taken into account in the selection process.\n\nThere is a shortened four-year postgraduate option for graduates with a first or good second class honours degree in a relevant subject. Non-science graduates may be accepted. They may be asked to sit tests to establish their ability to cope with scientific work.\n\nIn addition to academic ability, admissions tutors assess the candidate's personal skills and qualities for suitability for the rigours of the course and the demands of a medical career. They look for a responsible attitude, personal integrity and good interpersonal and communication skills. They also look for evidence of motivation and understanding of the medical profession. It is advisable to arrange relevant work experience before applying. \n\n\nIt's not exact but all surgeons are practically the same.

First, to perform the correct surgery, on the right patient.  That's not as easy as it sounds: sometimes the decision as to what needs done is not a trivial one.  This includes working with the other physician(s) on the case to assure that the proper diagnosis is reached, and the appropriate course of treatment is selected.\n\nOnce the surgery is performed, the surgeon is responsible for monitoring the progress of the patient (relevant to the surgery, at least) until full recovery is achieved, or at least inevitable--or, until 'the inevitable' happens, a euphemism for dying.  Again, in the process of monitoring the patient's recovery process, the surgeon generally coordinates activities with the other physician(s) involved; usually by direct conversation, but also by written record.\n\nShould a later investigatioin show that there has been some sort of mischance (so called) related to the surgery--as might be a sponge or an instrument left in the patient, or some other unfortunate thing--the surgeon's the one held responsible for its presence: as "Captain of the Ship" so to speak, anything that happens in the operating room is his or her responsibility, even if the surgeon did not do it directly or indirectly.
