This book is a collection of personal, first-person testimonials offered as companion reading. It is not medical advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider regarding any medical condition or decision.

About this volume

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts describe choosing a surgeon: the research and the referrals, the second opinions, the questions that revealed the most, and the instinct that tipped the balance. Writers reflect on the choices they were glad they made and the ones they would approach differently.

Who it's for

For anyone facing surgery and the decision of who will perform it, families helping weigh the options, and readers who want a framework drawn from experience.
