Is it ok to ask a doctor to open vial and fill syringes in front of me?

June 10, 2013
Asked By:12376 in Chicago, Illinois

I had 3 sessions of Sculptra injections (1 vial)) with good results. On my 2nd and 3rd visit, unlike 1st, the doctor didn't open vial in front of me but brought 5 prefilled syringes. I am not saying he diluted Sculptra but I do have small doubts. Is it ok to ask a doctor to open vial and fill syringes in front of me? I don't want to sound like I don't trust him or accusing him but this is a very expensive treatment and I just want to make sure I am getting 100% of what I am paying for Thank you
