Choosing a surgeon in Oklahoma

• Check the license with the Oklahoma State Board of Medical Licensure and Supervision. 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.
