Our Austin fertility surgeons’ tips for choosing a fertility surgeon

Choosing a fertility surgeon shouldn’t be stressful. With a little research, you can find a surgeon you trust to perform your procedure.

1. 

   Learn as much as you can about your surgeon. The more you know about your surgeon’s background and experience, the more confident you will feel about his or her ability to perform your procedure. You can learn more about our Austin fertility surgeons at About Us. Each physician also has an individual listing that discusses their education, certifications and professional affiliations.

2. Ask questions about your surgeon’s experience. When choosing a fertility surgeon, it’s helpful to ask questions about her experience with the procedure you are having. Ask if she performs the surgery often. Find out if she is specially trained in minimally invasive surgery or da Vinci robotic surgery, if she is recommending robotic surgery. [break][break]
3. Be certain that you feel comfortable asking your surgeon and her staff questions. Our surgeons encourage you to ask questions when choosing a fertility surgeon. The more informed you are, the more successfully you will follow instructions before and after surgery, ensuring a more successful recovery.

You should feel comfortable asking questions like these.

• Are there any nonsurgical options I can try before having surgery?
• Why do I need to have this surgery, and what happens if I choose not to have it?
• What are the benefits, risks and complications associated with this operation?
• What can I expect after the surgery and during recovery?
