More about the surgeon I'm looking at

[Guest guest]

I wrote earlier asking anyone to describe the best way to pick a

surgeon. I met with a surgeon the other week and I pretty much

liked everything about this guy. This surgeon and the ortho I met

with talk every week about their patients, he's board-certified, and

I got along great with the surgeon. The only problem is the number

of cases of this jaw surgery the surgeon performs every year. The

surgeon used to perform about 1 per week, but (because of more

patient insurance denials) he now performs about 8 - 10 per year.

Is this a major concern...I mean the guy has been in practice more

than 10 years so maybe its not. Any feedback would be great.
