Well I'm going to try to make an appointment with him. I'm tired of being told so many different things and no one can guarantee that it's going to help anything. I've been all over the country literally. I was about to settle on a surgeon that I like and that my dentist recommended who is a very knowledgeable doctor but then I had this appointment today at Mass general where I was told I need to take care of my cervical spine first because it looks dangerous. And I don't really know who to go to for that. There are many surgeons in New York City but I'm completely trust a lot of them. That's the problem how do I know who's really great? It's not from reviews cuz they all have great reviews. I think they must pay people sometimes to write those reviews. Anyway I think I'll look into your doctor. And tell me again we're Rush hospital is?

My surgeon had a 4.8 out of 5 stars, more than 500 reviews. I don't usually absorb or dwell on the great reviews, but read the ones unhappy, for Dr Lopez, the major critique was his lack of follow-up. He assigns his physicians assistant and his nurse practitioner for most of the followups, I did have some questions pertaining to my next surgery, and that's when Dr Lopez made himself available. The surgeon makes a big difference, Try to find a trusted site reporting honest feedback, collect a handful of surgeons, and try to find a winner. Ask AI how to best select a surgeon with superior outcomes, I am a bit dubious about asking medical staff who they like, somehow their answers seem tainted.
