Guest guest Posted July 25, 2001 Report Share Posted July 25, 2001 Hi- This question is going to be strange, because I am sure most post-ops generally feel the surgeon they went to was the best, but I was just wondering who is considered the best DS surgeon in the United States? I have heard a lot about Dr. Gagner in NYC, and I have looked at all the Surgeons mentioned at Duodenal Switch site, but I was wondering, if cost wasn't an issue, and location wasn't an issue, who is considered hands down the best DS doctor. Also, how do I tract down the surgical record for a surgeon. Like how many, if any, deaths they have had. Where they went to college and got their residency? How long have they performed DS surgery and how many patients have they had. If they perform Lap, how many? Questions like these. I appreciate any information you are willing to provide. Because BC/BS seems to be so difficult lately, I am trying to prepare myself for possibly doing this self-pay...that being the case, I am trying to find the best surgeon without basing my decision on insurance.
