All,
I am struggling with a decision and it is keeping me awake at night. I have spoken with Dr Stelzer (one of the best in the country for the Ross Procedure) and he is in NYC. I REALLY liked him and he took time with me to answer all my questions. Plus, he has a good sense of humor. Kind of nice for a surgeon. BUT, I do live in San Diego and the travel would be intense. We are talking like 5 hours of plane ride. Ugh.
My other choice is Dr Starnes at USC Keck center but I haven't talked to him yet. Just his assistant. Sort of gives off that "rockstar" thing. However, I would only have to drive a couple of hours for surgery. He hasn't done quite as many Ross ops as Dr Stelzer but he has done quite a few. I know he too has a good reputation.
I'm really struggling with this and maybe you guys can provide some insight.:confused2:
Thanks in advance.
