Good question: Ir is always a good idea to thoroughly investigate your physician's credentials. At the very least, i would make sure that it is a physician who is delivering the treatment or a qualified individual under their immediate supervision. Their hospital affiliations, practice history, board certification, disciplinary actions, & peer references as well as patient testimonials are all items to consider.
