How will you choose between two doctors for the same surgery?

Asked by mazingerz88 (28813points) May 17th, 2011

The procedure is called Fistulotomy and/or Fistulectomy. The kind of procedure is not necessarily the issue here. Cost is. Doctor A’s fee along with the surgery facility costs amount to $2500 while Doctor B’s fee plus a different facility’s cost totals $1400.

How would you go about deciding which doctor to perform the surgery. Does the more expensive option makes it the better one or choosing the much cheaper one makes for a quite practical wise choice? What steps would you take to ensure getting the safest and most effective treatment?
