Fortunately, thyroid conditions slowly progresses with time, allowing patients to explore their options before undergoing a surgery. Now, to undergo such surgical procedures, the experience and expertise level of the surgeon is crucial for your safety and successful outcome.



Now, finding an expert endocrine surgeon in India is like finding a needle in a haystack! However, it is not an impossible task and with proper research and few other techniques, you can find a surgeon ideal for you.



Here are some of the tricks to find the "one" for you:

Conduct Online Research


Nothing beats a hard-core research!



Google out the best endocrine surgeons in your locality, look for patients’ reviews and testimonials. Once you have narrowed them down, check their level of expertise, years of practice and affiliations.



Now, although positive reviews are helpful, yet keep in mind everyone’s need and viewpoint is different. A good endocrine surgeon ...
... for one, might not be equally fit for another!

Check for Credentials


Once you have sorted the surgeon perfect for you, check his/her credentials. See where he/she has attended the medical school, results, certification and their field of specialisation.

Look for 'In-Network' Surgeons


There’s another way to look for endocrine surgeons in India!



If you are covered by a comprehensive health insurance plan, they have tie-ups with network hospitals and surgeons as well. This will ensure you pay less from your pocket.



Plus, you can also contact the customer care service from the insurance card to find the list of ‘in-network’ surgeons.

Consult with the Surgeon


Behind every successful surgery, a productive and trustworthy relationship between the doctor and patient is crucial.



After selecting your preferred surgeon, book an appointment and give him/her a visit. During consultation, look if you are getting a positive vibe from that surgeon and see if you can place your trust on him/her.

Ask and Observe


Before visiting your surgeon, make a list of questions that you were hoping to ask. Some of the questions can be:

How many surgeries do you conduct per week? Expect an answer of 2 or 3 at least.
Ask about the years of experience in this field. It must at least over 7 to 8 years.
What is the success rate of surgeries?
If things doesn’t go as planned, will he/she agree to bear the responsibility of facing the outcome?



Check if the surgeon answers all of these questions patiently and in detail. If he/she hesitates or disapproves to answer your questions - it’s time to switch!

Enquire for Recommendations


Ask your friends, family; consult with the medical community for valuable recommendations. Make sure to ask why they prefer those particular surgeons and then decide will one of them be a good fit for you.

Follow these tips and finding a suitable endocrine surgeon in India will be within your reach. And, remember never be hesitant to switch. A mutual trustworthy relationship with your surgeon can make a big difference. So, if a surgeon gets your sixth sense tingling, it’s time to look for new!
