How Do I Check out a Doctor with No Before and After Photos?
I'm considering having the laser peel done but the doctor doesn't have before and after pictures. he said because our town is so small people don't want to show their pictures before having this done.

How do I check out a doctor with no before and after photos?
I agree with both Drs. Wallach and Rand.
It really depends on your town / city and the amount of anonymity in it. Despite being a much smaller town than Memphis, there are more Plastic Surgeons in a well known office building in Beverly Hills than in all of Memphis. Moreover, our patients are much more private in the South and many would object to having their before/after left in our waiting room or worse.
So, while we all have patients who would love nothing more to tell and show everyone...

Patient pre and post photos
In your small town this might be reasonable. Otherwise, plastic surgery is such a visual art that I can't imagine going to a doctor who didn't show me a significant body of his or her work including some patients that somehow resemble my situation indicating that they do a high volume of work. Without this, how can you even guess how good the surgeon is and whether their taste reflects what you hope for?
So, I consider lack of photos a relative warning sign.
