Surgeon resigning

I have just found out that my surgeon is resigning and going back to where he came from. Im needing to look into finding someone new. I don't like the other guy in his office, so now is my time to find someone close by who is good. I know I am going to have to travel to find someone, but am looking at who other people recommend.
Anyone have good experiences out my way with anyone? I was traveling to St Cloud where my doctor was, at Abbott. I dont mind traveling a little, but am not a fan of driving in Minneapolis! But will if need be!
 Any suggestions would be great! Thanks!!

 Dr Glass was my surgeon too. I heard he was leaving. I moved to Iowa and haven't found a new one yet. My 4 year Surgiversary is in August. Good luck...hope we both find someone!!

 Dr Drew and Dr Schwartz from Minneapolis Surgeons do both Abbott Mpls and St Josephs in St Paul. I love Dr Drew. I am not familiar with the Fridley or other northern practices.

My surgeon is Dr. Pitt from Essentia Health in Duluth....He is wonderful and compassionate to his patients... My surgery is August 8th. His partner Dr. Bettendorf is also great....You would be happy with either one...I hope that this helps...

 Paul mentioned Dr. Drew and Dr. Schwartz with Abbott, but I had Dr. Chute, who is also one of their partners.  Although I thought Dr. Schwartz left?  Not sure, but I love Dr. Chute!!  He is mild-mannered and reserved, but an excellent surgeon.  He has always been very willing to answer my questions and very caring.  Also, I've had zero complications or problems--I know that's anecdotal evidence, but he's been great for me!!

I had Dr Schwartz @ Abbot and have had excellence experience.  I haven't heard that he has left and have my 6 month next week.  The whole clinic and staff are great!  His work has helped me lose 183 pounds so far and 133 post op.

I also can highly recommend Dr. Raymond Drew at Abbott - he is very nice and makes sure patients questions are always answered! 

He is the best!
