Hello Bill,
I thought I read something about Dr Meshkin a long time ago, but I am not too sure any more, maybe on another forum... Nothing on Dr Kabaker.
The reason why I posted on this topic is because of the recent surgeon exclusions.
I was always surprised to see Dr Straub recommended given the higher standard maintained here. I guess about one year ago more or less, it seemed to me that the site, it's members and reco'd Dr's took a very significant step forward, Pat was visiting many more clinics than he used to and demanded more accountability from surgeons as in regular photo, patient and complaint updates, then he enforced the rules with the Dr's who did not meet requirements much more quickly than in the past it seems.
I got mediocre results on my first HT (from Dr Straub), I consider myself very lucky that I had no complications and I would hate seeing other forum members or non members having bad experiences from unproven Dr's. In my opinion Dr's Meshkin and Kabaker may well be just that: unproven. Because I am located in SoCal I am picking on these two but I think there maybe others in different geographical areas who are recommended on this site without recently complying to our current standards of due diligence.
