Here’s an example: I was assigned to Dr G a few weeks ago. I was told to look up the credentials on line. I always check because my insurance company always asks of course. Surprise! This person is apparently a PhD prof but not a medical doctor, but how was I to know????? And I could NOT FIND THE CREDENTIALS SO I CANCELLED. My cochlear implant would be postponed anyway. It does take years to make progress.

@coppermoon Curious to know what this professional's PhD was in. Some audiologists do have PhD degrees. Audiologists, even those with doctorate degrees in audiology (AuD indicates doctor of audiology), are not 'medical' doctors. Many have private practices, but some work with ENT (Ear/Nose/Throat) medical doctors.

Have you been to an ENT clinic or cochlear implant center regarding a cochlear implant? Where do you live?
