I assume that anyone contemplating this type of major surgery does a great deal of research when finding a surgeon. Each person, of course, has their own criteria in deciding with whom to work with. In my case, I had spent numerous hours on the internet, various blog sites, and talked to several people whom had gone through this proceedure. Additionally, I had one on one consults with a total of five US-based surgeons whom I evaluated prior to deciding on Dr. Ousterhout. Therefore I felt very comfortable that I had done the needed research and in my decision to work with Dr. O, I would be both happy and have the knowlegde that I did everything I could to make a reasonable and well-informed decision.
