[Guest guest]

Did you put quote thingies around the search? like this:

" searching subject "

If you do it gives you this

http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en & ie=ISO-8859-1 & q=%22Dr.+Pushkar+

Mehra%22 & meta=

and there seems to be tons out there!

Hi Mia

Thanks for that - but the link you gave me was for " Dr Pushkar "

whereas my OS is " Dr. Mehra " (first name is Pushkar) All google seems

to come up with for that is links onto the BU site - which I already

know and don't really tell me anything about him or his experience...

Hi Joanna

Oops, sorry about that!

I tried it, and my results showed that he formerly worked at Baylor,

which is a pretty good recommendation to me.

There have been quite a few patients who had surgery at Baylor, and

most, I believe, have been pleased with their results. I am not one

of them, though.
