Choosing a Zerona Laser Doctor

How do you find the right doctor – for any condition? Most people like referrals; self included. I know that if a friend or family member refer me to a doctor then my trust increases.

I get inquires from around the world as to who I recommend in their particular area – so I know that they also are look for me to refer them to. On many instances I’m able to speak with the doctor before referring the potential patient to that doctor. Though I get nothing in return by doing that – its just how I’d like some doctor to treat my mother. Know what I mean?

Some times I cant speak to the doctor, but I let you know a head of time.

So this blog is about how to choose the right Zerona doctor for your treatment. Remember, the Zerona Laser is a tool. Just like a scalpel – it’s a tool. In the right hands I can perform amazing things. In the wrong hand, less than favorable. You with me?

Here are a few pointers…
First, it should feel right. When you visit the office you pretty much know if you are in the right place. Right? Women have a blessed ability – a sixth sense if you will – to know if something feels right, or wrong.

Second, even before you go to the office do your homework on that doctor. Nowadays you can “Google” a person and find out all you know.

Third, the success of their patients. It should be evident to you that they have raving fans.

Forth, credibility. Your doctor should be credible. And I’m not talking about their degree on the wall – that’s a bare minimum. In fact, you have to be a licensed doctor to even own a Zerona Laser.

And this actually leads to another topic/question I’m asked.

I was recently asked by a visitor to my website if I could address the issue of chiropractors versus plastic surgeons in using the Zerona Laser.

Let me simply post my reply to her because it’s worth mentioning.

Hey Dr. Troy,
I looked him up and notice that he is a chiropractor. From my research, it seems that they are recommending it be done by a plastic surgeon. Can you comment on this?

Hi MaryAnn,

I would love to comment on this.
Yes, he is a chiropractor. As am I.
I don’t know what reference you found that said it should be done by a plastic surgeon – as that is incorrect.
Chiropractors have been using “cold” laser technology for many years. So it’s nothing new to chiropractors. “Cold” laser therapy is new to the plastic surgeons in that they have used “burning” “hot” “cutting” lasers as their tools for many years. The predecessor to the ZERONA laser is a LipoLaser that was used DURING surgical liposuction and that helped patients get better safer results from the surgical liposuction. That surgical Lipolaser was used by a cosmetic laser anesthesiologist. Now, the surgical aspect is not longer needed.
Having talked to Erchonia and the Medical Director there he reports to me that the Chiropractors using the ZERONA laser are getting significantly better results. He attributes it to the Chiropractors’ knowledge, understanding, and training in nutrition and supplementation to aid the Zerona Laser via lymphatic and digestive stimulation. While I cannot say that it’s true that we are getting better results than the plastic surgeons – I will say that he is correct in that our training and schooling gives us much more training in this department.
I commend your researching.
If you look at other blogs out there, you’ll find a Dr. Alan Bauman, MD from Boca Roton, Fl. He actually comments on the idea of Chiropractors using cold laser – his statement was something to the effect of what I mentioned: Chiropractors have been using cold laser for years. He goes on to say that when he went to a Cold Laser post graduate seminar he was the only MD there… the rest of the attendees were chiropractors. Interesting, huh?
I hope you find this helpful.
I’d love for this to be a post on my blog – if you are ok with it.
Thank you for your comments. Keep me posted.

Look… I know the public has a poor opinion of chiropractors. Though I can only control a patient experience in my office and make a change for the better – I totally understand where most people are coming from. Heck, I’ve been to chiropractor’s offices AND medical doctor’s offices and I think to myself – “THIS is a health care office?… gross!”

I’d be a bit concerned if I walked into a doctor’s office and felt that Zerona was something that that they just did to make money as opposed to specializing in that. You want a doctor that understands the fine details to managing your case – whether that’s a chiropractor, a plastic surgeon, or any medical doctor.

Follow the recommendations above and I’m sure you’ll find the right place.

By the way… I know I’m going to get a bunch of emails from chiropractor and medical doctors on this blog.

But – this stuff had to be shared.

MaryAnn – thanks again for asking…

Blessings,
Dr. Don (btw… my first name is Troy and my last name is Don )
