How to compare specialists abroad

Start with the clinician

Ask for the treating clinician's full name, specialty, current license or registration, and the exact role they will play. Verify credentials through the appropriate regulator or professional body when possible.

Questions worth asking

• How often do you perform this specific procedure?
• What makes someone a poor candidate?
• Where is the procedure performed and who provides anesthesia if relevant?
• What follow-up is expected before travel home?
• How are complications handled after the patient leaves the country?
