Hi Karen. although it may seem really strange to have different opinions, it is common...as for my experience, my regular doc was "brave" enough to recognize he wasn't as experienced to perform the lap and he made a referal to another doctor, he only sugested two out of more than 100s, maybe thousands that I could choose from, he said, he knew those two were the ones with the experience to perform a succesful surgery to me and luckly for me, it was a success!
I think is just as accountants are able to manage different accounts, they all have things were they specialized at and are able to manage things better than others, although when it comes to it, all of them are able to or should be able to perform. you know? and also, it depends on the hospitals, not all hospitals have the most recent and advanced equipment, so that has something to do with it too.
I am glad you were able to find the doctor you were looking for!! good luck with the surgery, I wish you a fast recovery!!
I forgot to mention that we decided to go with the second dr, and my surgery has been scheduled for feb 3rd.
