- Who performs the procedure?
- Is the physician board certified or specialty trained?
- Is the facility licensed?
- Is the facility accredited?
- Who provides anesthesia?
- What happens if complications occur?
- What follow-up is included?
- What is included in the quoted price?
- What is excluded?
- What happens if I need urgent care after returning home?
