Plastic Surgeons Where do I find?

Plastic surgeons I want to know where to find...? Is their Any Free Background Check Sites on Doctors????? Looking into the plastic surgery are specifically are there any websites where you don't have to pay money to view if a Surgeon has any malpractice suits against them. Is the Better buisness bureau one of them? Any others available...doing research on this and need some serious answers.. Thanks in advance

1. If you are willing to spend the money and take the risk on plastic surgery then be willing to spend the $9.95 it would take to check out the doctor. We have all seen the horror stories of botched plastic surgery jobs. Donda West just died due to the negligence of a plastic surgeon. If I were you I would run a real search and not rely on finding something free.
2. Doing Research: Before your consultation, check out your plastic surgeon. Many plastic and cosmetic surgeons (or group practices) have their own websites. These sites usually give information about the surgeon’s educational background and training, specialties, office locations and directions, and office hours. 6 Tips on finding the right plastic surgeon for you: http://www.newimage.com/find-a-cosmetic-plastic-surgeon.aspx If the plastic surgeon is certified by a medical specialty board, which is a national professional organization, you can usually check that certification at that medical specialty board’s website. You can also check on a surgeon with your state’s medical board, which is the government agency in each state that licenses physicians. (A state medical board and a medical specialty board are two different things. Every doctor must be licensed by a state medical board, but not every doctor is certified by a medical specialty board. List of state medical boards: http://www.breastimplants4you.com/state_medical_boards.htm At your consultation: The reason you are consulting with a cosmetic surgeon is to determine if cosmetic surgery is right for you. You should think of the consultation as an information-gathering mission. The most important information you will get from the consultation is a general feel for the surgeon and his or her office staff. You should feel that you are being treated well by the receptionist and other staff members, not just the surgeon.
