I've heard great things about all... Not sure people choose unless they need something like a DS and then it is Dr. Hong.

I was referred directly to a surgeon... others seem to be assigned to surgeons...

i wasnt under the impression that we had a choice of who would do our surgery ...i had all my appointments under Dr.Anvari,but then when it was time for my surgeon appt it was with Dr.Hong [who is super nice and informative] and it was explained to me the day of surgery it could be any of the three to perform the surgery ...so sorry that aint that helpful but on a lighter side i have not heard anything bad about any of the doc's  or st joes best of luck in your journey :)
