i have had two different surgeons and i'll say the first one was the best in town, best reputation, nicest office, most expensive, board certified in plastic surgery specifically, etc. but he didn't listen to me, and i ended up in lawyer battles just trying to get him to see me after he'd done my breast augmentation to discuss my concerns. my second doctor had a pretty tacky office, and was the cheapest on my list of consults and was only board certified in surgery - but he listened to me, and he heard me, understood my needs/wants and spit them back out at me in a language i understood. i think *the* most important factor in choosing a doctor is making sure that it's one you get along with and your personalities match. if you're the type of person that needs a lot of follow up care, wants a doctor you can call after your procedure with any questions/concerns - ask if you can call/email the doctor during your consult or over the phone before making an appointment. that usually gives you a good idea of how available that doc is to his/her patients.
