Scleral buckling surgery

What is the success rate of Scleral buckling surgery? I was diagnosed with retinal detachment in both eyes (left eye fluid up top) (right eye fluid at bottom).  Dr. is recommending Scleral buckling surgery for the left eye and laser procedure for right eye.  Should I get a second opinion?

Is there a Dr. that you would recommend in Atlanta GA area to perform the surgery?
