Rockville, Md.: In researching and selecting a doctor to perform Lasik surgery, what do you consider to be the top five qualifications a surgeon should possess?
Dr. Roy Rubinfeld:
1 - Experience.
2 - The ability to handle any potential post-operative problems.
3 - Does the doctor routinely lecture to other doctors about these procedures?
4 - Does the doctor provide several different procedures or do they only do Lasik? The doctor needs to be able to find the best procedure for your eyes and your needs. Trying to put a square peg into a round hole is not a good idea.
5 - Where do I fall in terms of being a candidate from one to five, with five being the most difficult patient the surgeon would still consider performing surgery on and one being the most plain vanilla patient around.

But how do you get that information? I guess you have to go doctor by doctor asking this questions?
I have no idea... maybe there are newsgroups etc?? I don't know :-(
