I Am Considering Plastic Surgery, Can I Check up on a Potential Surgeon?

Question: I Am Considering Plastic Surgery, Can I Check up on a Potential Surgeon?

Answer: Anyone considering plastic surgery has a right to wonder how legit their potential doctor is. You can now run background checks on physicians with Intelius , a service that compiles information in the public domain, including details on legal actions. Find out everything from whether a doctor has been sued (complaints & verdicts) to his or her criminal record in your state. The price to search isn't cheap. It'll run you about $50.
