    Prioritize your list. At the top of the list anyone who comes personally recommended, by friends, family or colleagues. Follow those names with doctors that fit the next most important criteria for you, i.e., location of the office gender of the doctor, etc. Follow this formula to prioritize all names.

    Make a list of questions you have for the doctor. These may or may not be questions you already know the answers to. The important thing is to get the doctor or their receptionist talking in order to get a sense of what they are like. Some possible questions are: "What is Botox?", "How does Botox work?", "Is Botox Dangerous?", "How long does the procedure take?", "Does the procedure hurt?", "Will it take affect right away?", "How long will one injection last?", "How much is a procedure?", "How soon can I have an appointment?"

    Call the first 3-8 names on the list and ask your list of questions to either the receptionist or the doctor. While on the phone with each office, make clear notes both on the answers they give as well as anything you notice about how they answer. Are they pushy? Impatient? Giving? Friendly? Their demeanor on the phone can say a lot about what your experience with them will be.

    Ask for evidence of good work. Once you have narrowed the list down to one or two doctors that sound good, ask to see samples and or testimonials of their work. You might try looking the doctors up online to verify their credentials. If you still can't decide between two doctors, tune into your gut instinct and then go with it!

  • Remember to go with your gut feeling about people. Usually, if something doesn't feel right, it probably isn't.
  • If you are into making your self-enhancement a social thing, you can ask the doctors if they offer Botox Parties. The parties are usually cheaper, since the doctor can offer a bulk rate, and often take place in someone's home rather than an office.
