Looking for Qualified Surgeon in Florida to Do Eyelid Surgery?

Where can I find out if a doctor has had a malpractice?

At present, my 18 year old sister is looking for a qualified specialist to do a (possible) upper eyelid lift. She is very young and I don't want her to make the same mistake I did by not doing research. So, I was hoping that you could provide us with a website where it shows the doctors credentials.

Malpractice as a criteria for selecting qualified surgeons

Dear Alexa You can go to the DBPR the Florida Departmentt of Business and Professional Regulation and look up each doctor. Remember that this does not indicate a doctor's quality. The doctor with the most experience may also be doing the most complex cases as well, which carries a higher risk. Speak to several doctors in the area and then sit back and think about what each one said. Sometimes you just have a gut feeling that one is not right for you whatever the reason.
