Information Health Network has selected surgeon profile criteria based upon what a surgeon would commonly want to know in selecting a surgeon for themself. We hope the surgeon's perspective will be helpful to potential patients in their deliberations.
Each panel surgeon attested to the veracity of his or her statements during the application process. The above information was supplied by each panel member and was not subjected to detailed verification, which should be the responsibility and due diligence of the prospective patient and not that of Information Health Network. This may require discussion with the surgeon or analysis of each surgeon's records and professional organizations.
Each of the listed panel surgeons has signed a hold harmless document relative to any and all Information Health Network liability for representation, diagnosis, and treatment.
