How to Choose the Best Doctor for Nerve Decompression Surgery

When you've grown tired of living with pain and being told that medication may be your only answer, you have the option to consider a major surgery like nerve decompression. It's important to research and choose the best possible doctor for the job. Not all doctors know about nerve decompression surgery as a treatment, even though there is ample evidence that it is highly effective. Some doctors will only prescribe medication as an option for a compressed nerve. Dr. Williams has experience with nerve decompression surgery and can determine if it is the right option for you.

Choosing a Doctor for Nerve Decompression Surgery

There are several factors to keep in mind that can help you choose the doctor that is right for your specific condition and needs, such as:

• Experience. Choosing a doctor with experience performing the particular procedure you're looking for is essential. Ask about how many times they've performed the surgery and what kind of success rates they've seen.
• Certification. You will want to make sure that the doctor you choose is certified to perform nerve decompression surgery. Dr. Williams is board-certified in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. He is also a member of the following professional associations: the American Society of Peripheral Nerve, the American Society of Reconstructive Microsurgery, the American Society of Plastic Surgery, and the Association of Extremity Nerve Surgeons.
• Patient testimonials. Finally, don't forget to read patient testimonials. These can give you insight into what other patients have experienced when working with a particular doctor. Dr. William's patients have been satisfied with the results of their nerve decompression surgeries.

Once you have narrowed down your choices for a nerve decompression surgeon, you will want to schedule an appointment to discuss whether the procedure can treat your specific condition. Dr. Williams will evaluate your symptoms and decide if you are a candidate for surgery.
