Do the PET/CT, as Cheryld said. I usually give someone a 2nd chance due to first meetings being awkward, even for doctors, OtherwisecI would have left them all lol. Then on my 2nd visit both may be more comfortable, and have an idea on his or her style, personality. I have a new doctor who doesn't like shaking hands, which was odd to me, but has warmed up. The other thing you can do is go online as see your doct's background, schooling, residency. etc. if affiliated with a hospital, check thier web page.

I have alloderm, from one of my surgeries to protect the carotid artery in my neck, and It's not a big deal for me. Good luck.
