He acted like the surgery was no big deal but told me that it was a 4 month recovery. I asked what days he was available for surgery and he said well if I do it tomorrow...She will be my 5th surgery tomorrow. That concerned me as well. Sorry to vent but I just wasn't impressed at all. |
Follow your gut instinct .... you have time to get a second opinion. You can look him up here to see if he is boarded. Did you see a certificate on his wall? Should be there! :

You also can find another surgeon on the above website and get a second opinion. I totally understand how you feel about her and she is fortunate to be so loved.
