Yes: I am not familiar with the hospitals/doctors in the bay area. However, i can comment on then 2nd part of your question. Yes, if there are no other contraindications laparoscopy or even robotic surgery is better than open surgery especially for hiatal hernia in an 83 year old. Quicker recovery, shorter hospital stay, less pain, less risk of infection.
