How do you find the 'best' retinal specialist?
I very much appreciate the responses I received to my previous post about my macular pucker. However, this feedback raises the question of how to find the "best of the best" retinal specialist, especially when referrals from one's physician(s) are unsatisfactory. (There should be adult education classes on this topic.) How reliable are the lists of "best" doctors by Castle Connolly and Consumer Guide? Is a doctor's membership in professional groups (e.g., the Vitreous Society) important? If I saw a specialist at a teaching hospital, would residents participate in my treatment? (I live in large midwestern city and have good health insurance, but I'm an "outsider" to the medical community here.) All feedback will be welcome!
