| Seek out doctors who do research AND those who spend 5 days a week treating your condition |
In the article "What Doctor's only tell their friends" Mark makes 2 suggestions when looking for a specialist doctor:
1] Look for a specialist who is actively involved and doing research. If you want the latest and best treatments, you want a doctor who is keeping up to date and who has access to the latest equipment
2] Look for a doctor who treats your condition 5 days per week. There is no point in finding a doctor who only does a few cases like yours each week ....like everyone, doctors only get really good at something with continual practice.
In the speciality of Varicose Veins treatments, most doctors who "do" varicose veins only treat them half a day or one day per week. Most are "vascular surgeons" or "general surgeons" who spend most of the week doing other operations such as aneurysms, bypasses or other sorts of major surgery. Not surprisingly, when they come to try to do vein surgery, they will not have as much practice as those specialists who do vein surgery every day.
