Abstract
This study evaluated what patients consider in choosing a surgeon. A survey was given to 303 patients. Most found their hand surgeon through a medical or family/friend referral (p <.05). Surgeon credentials and accepted insurance were statistically more likely to be rated first (p<.001). We recommend educating referring physicians about our practices.
