Choosing a surgeon in Connecticut

• Check the license with the Connecticut Medical Examining Board (Department of Public Health). Look up any physician on DocInfo.org.
• Ask how many of your specific procedure the surgeon does each year, and where (hospital or surgery center).
• Ask what non-surgical options were tried first and what recovery and physical therapy look like.
• A second opinion before elective surgery is normal and most plans cover it.
