What is considered an 'experienced' DS surgeon

MsBatt would probably be your best resource for detailed information on the qualifications for DS surgeons.  I'm surprised she hasn't posted to your thread.

Vetted surgeon isn't the only criteria. My Doctor only does a few DS's a year but has a very good reputation as a surgeon.

He decides on a case by case basis if he will offer the patient the option of a DS. I hit 1 year and I think he did great by me.

does  7000 ds surgeries sound like he knows how to do a open ds.  he is such an expert that pomp , roslin dankin all  refered me to him for my ds surgery. for years ago , no probles.   im coming back for a ttuck on june fourth  to tidy it up.
