Axiom, good luck to you. You are right to seek a new provider if your current doctor doesn't have your full confidence -- for whatever reason. Not only the surgeon, but their team, surgical facility, and rehab support are crucial. As they say, do your research. If you've identified someone you really want, I urge you to try to make that happen. I know logistics can be difficult, and your circumstances may make it impossible, but peace of mind is gold. Note my procedure was day surgery, operating room at 8AM, out the door by 2. That's definitely not always the possible, so YMMV.
