5 Things to consider before choosing your Orthopedic Surgeon

Choosing the best orthopedic surgeon is quite a task nowadays. With the overload of information everywhere, the patient gets confused about who is the best doctor in your area. Here I am sharing some tips on how to choose your bone-doctor:


1. Search on Google 


The Internet is your best friend in this. Google the name of the doctor or with the keyword like "Best Orthopedic doctor in Noida" or " Best Orthopedic surgeon in Agra" or enter your area. Google's 1st and the 2nd page will give you the name of a few doctors to consider.


2. Look at the reviews


The reviews on the google page of the best doctor's clinic will tell you what kind of doctor he/she is. Look for what most reviews are telling you. For example, if you read 9 good reviews then don't focus on 1 bad one. The doctor is most likely good.

3. Look for the experience of the doctor


If you are suffering from a bad knee or you need a knee replacement surgery, then look for the experience of that doctor in knee replacement surgery or the alternatives of the knee replacement surgery as well. A doctor who has done hundreds of surgeries is your catch. Also, watch out for a doctor who just performs surgeries and no conservative treatment.


4. Testimonials


The patient's testimonials are a doctor's trophy. You can find the testimonials on that doctor's website or the facebook page. These testimonials will give a broader picture to the doctor's practice. Don't forget to check out those.

5. Doctor's Education


The orthopedic surgeon must be well qualified in his field and thus must be holding a master's degree. If you can find a surgeon with all the above qualifications and experience, then even traveling to that doctor will be beneficial for you.

P.S - You can book an online appointment with Dr. Sumit Badhwar (Best Orthopedic Surgeon in Noida, Agra, UP, India).
