A member asked:
How can i find out how many procedures a surgeon has done? what is a good number of toupet's completed to be classifed as an expert in this procedure? does being a sages surgeon provide additional expertise in this procedure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You can absolutely ask a surgeon who proposes a procedure as to how many he/she has done. expertise in doing a procedure depends on many things and cant be judged by affiliation to an organization- which can only certify that the surgeon has ahd proper training
