Yes, that would be my guess as well - after reading up on him. Of course, like FTB just said it is not feasible for most of us to go to the premiere medical centers due to insurance restraints. I would think by now that he has trained enough doctors to do the procedure that any well known facility should be able to do as well. I live in Nashville so if I were to ever reach the point of needing surgery I would go to Vanderbilt - providing I still have insurance.
Happy Thanksgiving to all out there, and hope your pain is minimal.
