@happyat76 Finding a great surgeon or doctor can be difficult. I rely somewhat on recommendations from friends and relatives who I know are as picky as I am, I also look at the rating sites and if there are many reviews I tend to believe them, if there are few it is much less reliable. I also check their credentials and make sure they are certified in their speciality of course.
Most of the time this has worked out well for me. Right now I am ambivalent about two doctors in my arsenal of doctors. I am mostly happy with all of the rest. The two doctors I am ambivalent about were both highly recommended by other medical professionals so even that is not 100% reliable.
