Here's some more input for you/everyone from a dear friend of mine who was an ophthalmic tech for decades in the ophthalmology departments of two major Boston healthcare institutions until retiring several years ago:
You know it's tricky business recommending and doing research on an ophthalmologist. I'd say start looking early and establish a relationship of a few years. What is an objectionable MD to one person is wonderful to another. Check what their specialty is and make sure they do a lot of the surgeries in your area of need. Then, pick one and put all of your faith in them. Also, check where they have surgical privileges and if you will have any part of your surgery done by fellows. Nothing wrong with that, of course as they are competent and supervised, but if you feel strongly against that, then make clear that you don't want anyone other than your MD to do the surgery. Sometimes it's referred to as ghost surgery. Usually it's in a teaching hospital. Good luck in your search as there are a plethora of fine ophthalmologists in the Boston area. Lastly, consider who takes your insurance.
