Questions to ask at a consultation
A consultation is a job interview, and you're the one hiring. A surgeon who welcomes these questions is usually the surgeon you want.
- How many of this procedure did you do last year, and what share of your work is it?
- What do you do when a result isn't what the patient hoped? Do you take on your own revisions?
- Where will the surgery take place, and who looks after me if there's a problem at night or at the weekend?
- Can I see results from patients with a similar starting point to mine, not only your best ones?
A profile tells you what a surgeon does, not how well. Credentials confirm specialist training, not results. Everything above comes from official registers, professional bodies and the practice's own site, never from the surgeon paying us.

Jack Kelly
Galway, IrelandIn plain English
Jack Kelly of Galway is listed as a member of the Irish Association of Plastic Surgeons, whose members are all on the Medical Council's plastic surgery specialist register.
We found Jack Kelly (FRCSI, FRCS (Plast), MD) on the member list of the Irish Association of Plastic Surgeons, with a practice at the Bon Secours Hospital, Renmore, Galway. Specialist status here comes from that association, which states that all its members are on the Medical Council Specialist Register in plastic surgery, not from the register record itself. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons directory also lists a Jack Kelly at the same Galway address as an international member. No fitness to practise notice was returned for this name.
Please confirm the full record, including any conditions, undertakings or suspension, on the Medical Council register at https://www.medicalcouncil.ie/public-information/check-the-register/.
The IAPS page does not state a membership tier, and our verdict relies on the IAPS statement that all members are on the specialist register.
The IAPS profile page was last updated in 2018, so the practice details may be out of date.

What this doesn't tell you
Registration confirms specialist training. It can't tell you how skilled a surgeon is, how often they perform your procedure, or what your results will be. Those are questions for your consultation. Registers change, so confirm anything important with the register before you decide.
