So if the surgeon is 35, would you then be concerned they did not have enough experience? My OHS surgeon was about 55, leads clinical trials, and regularly attends conferences on OHS. In my mind, but then I am 57, experience trumps youth.

For example, when I needed another hernia fixed I went to my first general surgeon. He told me that the current practice is laparoscopic surgery which he does not do. He sent me to a "young guy" who practiced that type of surgery. I trusted his recommendation implicitly since he had experience and was head of surgery at a teaching hospital. The man he sent me to was fully competent.
