Finding an expert in any field takes a lot of work. In the field of sexuality and sexual medicine, it is an even more daunting task. It’s difficult to find a doctor we feel comfortable with and finding a doctor who is comfortable with sexuality is even more challenging. Most of us turn to the Internet and a quick Google search to help us. Even though we know we can’t believe everything we read online, we look for clues, references, and credentials to help us make a decision. If we see an expert quoted on several reputable sites, they must be authentic, right? But despite best endeavors, sometimes even the experts online have been fooled.
So how do we vet a professional to make sure he is the real deal? We look for credentials of well-known licensing boards, institutions, societies, and schools. Most doctors and other medical professionals should have their certifications and licenses prominently placed in their office. It is perfectly acceptable to ask a professional about their training and their background – trust me, they will not be offended. I often appreciate it when the patient asks about my story of how I got into my particular field.
We want you to be assured that you are in competent hands and are being cared for by trained professionals.
