Guidelines for choosing your surgeon

Making an informed choice in selecting the surgeon who best meets your requirements is of the utmost importance. The following is a guideline to assist you in your search.
Cost Cost
Cost should never be the sole factor in deciding upon surgical procedure. It is much more appropriate to base your decision regarding surgery on the surgeon’s reputation, apparent skill and experience. Also, bear in mind the surgeon’s ability to communicate with you in a professional manner, that he/she is sincere, understanding, respectful and patient. After surgery, you are not likely to remember the exact amount you paid for your procedure, but you will be aware of the quality of the results for the rest of your life. The cost should not be the main basis for your choice of surgeon. Do not try to do this on the cheap.

Cost Questions
It is your right to ask any questions you have about your selected procedure. It is your responsibility to make sure that all important questions have been asked and answered before making any final decisions about having your procedure.
A surgeon should be willing to discuss and attempt to answer any question you have about your procedure. Do not feel embarrassed to ask difficult questions about the surgeon or procedure.

Every responsible surgeon wants his/her patients to have realistic expectations. The best and only way you and the surgeon can be reasonably certain that your expectations are realistic is for you to make every effort to have all your questions answered.

Cost Decision
Before you decide to have surgery, the surgeon should have answered all at your questions. Every ethical surgeon will want to be certain that you feel comfortable about having enough information to make a well-informed decision.
If a surgeon is not willing or is not able to answer your questions before surgery, then it is possible that any questions or problems you encounter after surgery will not be adequately addressed either.
Cost Medical History
Have you been asked to provide a complete medical history? No one should obtain any treatment without having provided details of his or her medical history that may be necessary in the event of an emergency or adverse reaction.
Cost Informed Choice
Have you been advised of the risks and given your informed consent? A discussion of both the benefits, alternative treatments and risks of a procedure is required for informed consent. Such informed consent should be documented in the medical records.
A person giving informed consent must not be under the influence of alcohol or other substances that may impair judgement.

Cost Qualification
Is a qualified surgeon performing your treatment and / or surgery ?

Please check your selected surgeon with the following organizations Tunisian Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Association Tunisian Doctors with Malpractice cases

Cost Anaesthetic
Is a specialist anaesthetist going to do your anaesthetic and will you have a pre operative consultation prior to surgery ?

Will your surgery be done under local anaesthetic with sedation or a general anaesthetic ?

Cost Medical Facility
Where will your surgery take place? Will you be admitted into a medical facility which is fully registered with 24-hour nursing support ?
Cost Follow-Up
Will you receive adequate follow-up care?
Follow-up care is an important part of the doctor-patient relationship, and should not be overlooked, even when treatment is administered outside the usual medical setting.
