Good advice about finding the right surgeon. That is the method I use also. You are so right about Cleveland Clinic. Have a good weekend group

Thanks Mary. I'm a boomer and have a very different view of Drs and surgeons than my parents. My parents would only trust a male doctor in his 60s. Times change though, and for the better IMO.

That's not to say there aren't very good male Drs and surgeons in their 60s. My PCP is male and 72 y/o but still very involved in the current state of medicine and his practice. I guess my poi t is that we have choices when it comes to our medical care, and there's no reason not to expect the best.
