I am seeking a second opinion. The first surgeon could schedule me by the end of the year, however he does 20 partial nephrectomies a year, robotically. I do not know if that is a minimal, moderate or maximal amount per year. I am hoping the second opinion does more. However, I am not yet scheduled for my second opinion. I have a December 24 appointment at the Cleveland clinic, but If I am confident with someone here in Oregon I will stay here and cancel at Cleveland clinic. Thanks for information every comment helps.
