Gosh, I have no idea how one can arrive at a surgeon for such an important process. I chose Brassard only because it is an hour + drive...so that was important. I knew he had a good reputation, but all surgeons do.
The one thing I've learned is everyone extolls the surgeon that did their surgery, but there is no way to measure one over another. Comes down to your comfort level, willingness to travel, $$$$, recovery and aftercare, etc
