Default Is there a consensus doctor for TOS surgery?

A little background:

Been going on 3 years trying different things edgelowe included, started off talking to Newkirk, he seemed very adamant on Avery, talked to Avery seemed knowledgeable but seen some stuff that's given me pause.

Down in L.A now, talked to Jordan, Ahn, mahtabifard and Gelabert soon, I feel like I'm running out of options. Main pain is in elbow cubital tunnel area but also other areas, MRI and venogram show compression at costoclaviular interval, not too much at pec minor or scalene. I think indicated surgery would be first rib resection.


Questions:

1. Is there a consensus doctor for TOS surgery?

2. I see Donahue and Thompson brought up a lot, are they that much better than the guy in L.A (surgery would be so much easier in L.A), plus I've heard negative things about each (along with a lot of positive).

3. Consensus surgeon in L.A/So-cal?

4. Trans axillary vs. supraclavicular?

Thanks for your thoughts on this~
