If you read the reviews on Dr. Schaff it says he has zero patients returning to the hospital. He is probably the best surgeon in the country for this surgery. When my grown children were flying up to Rochester they sat next to a Fellow or Resident at the Mayo Clinic. They had a conversation with her and told her about my surgery. When they told her who the surgeon was she waved her hand and said "Piece of Cake, you don't get a better surgeon". You will be just fine with him and his team.
