Would you go to a surgeon who was/acted like a jack ass if you loved his work?

It depends on the type of jackassery. 

I'm really looking for surgeons that know what they're doing, in terms of what kinds of outcomes are realistic.  For example, I want an FFS surgeon who is aware of what kinds of facial structures have an aesthetic appeal.  If the surgeon is a master sculptor of bone but doesn't give a ->-bleeped-<- about me as a person, that's cool, as long as he/she's driven to sculp the most beautiful face he humanly knows how to sculpt.

Anyway, bedside manner is overrated; vision, talent, and lots of good past results are severely under-rated.

You're paying for very precise, artistic work, not making a relationship.
Let him/her make you look wonderful, then go about your business and forget about it

I had to have surgery for something not trans related when I was 17. That doctor treated me like a block of wood and I never forgot it. So, no.
