How to read reviews of a surgeon abroad
Adjectives are cheap; specifics are not. Look for reviews that mention follow-up after the patient went home, honesty about what the surgery could and couldn't do, direct communication with the surgeon rather than an agency, and how problems — there are always small ones — were handled. Beware profiles with hundreds of reviews in a single month, reviews that read like brochures, and clinics that cannot show you their Google profile. The reviews above were chosen for specifics, not for stars.
