That is how I do my research is through the internet like you said see what their experience is, if they have an expertise, and what their reviews are. I don't bother looking at the good reviews, but try to look at the bad reviews. I also look to see if there is anything filed with the state on a lot of professionals (not just doctors or the place that they practice). Then it depends on how they make you feel. I went to one specialist, who was a professor for the type of medicine I was looking for a doctor in and she was supposed to be the most predominant in the field, but I didn't like her and never went back.
