Was hoping to get some insight and opinions on my current situation. I have been talking back and forth with a rep from easily a top 5 doctor in the world. He is my number one choice and want my procedure to be with him. He has a clinic outside of the US, but is offering surgery in the US where I am from. This of course makes travel much easier.
My only concern is with the technicians. They provided the names and experience level of the technicians, I was able to look them up and see that they have 10-20 years experience, however they are independent / contract technicians. They're resume say they work full time as techs, but was wondering if this could have an effect on the end result where it isn’t at the surgeons home base with in house technicians.
They are technicians he has full faith in and has even trained them himself and has employed them in the past.
the surgeon would be doing all punches and incisions of the recipient sites, where the techs will pull the grafts after they are punched and will also be placing the grafts.
my question is, how much could this effect the end result? Would it be better to hold off and travel to the clinic where in house technicians are a part of the procedure, or is it a safe bet the result will be similar if I were to do it in the US?
This Dr. Like I said produces consistent results and is my number one choice, but I don’t want to let the convenience of travel impact the decision if the result won’t be the same.
