One of my prime methods is similar. I have carefully selected my physicians over the years so I trust them. I ask them who they and their immediate family members use. Even in the largest cities the medical community is fairly small and the great ones and horrible ones are well known within it. For example, I have a highly rated rheumatologist. I was in his office when he received a phone call and took it explaining that he had to take it because it was his wife and she was having her hip replaced the next day. Well, of course, it is the same surgeon doing it who replaced my left hip four years ago and my right knee seven months ago (this was before my surgery).
This is a long winded (sorry) explanation of why you should ask your physicians this question.
I do like the nurse solution as well. I would be less enamored of a PT solution (not that you have suggested it) as the PT might be influenced by which surgeons recommend that their patients use the facility.
