I believe this forum has been instrumental in identifying experienced, skilled TOS surgeons. I don't read the same horror stories that seemed to be common when you search the archives from 5+ years ago. I also think these surgeons are more selective when selecting surgical candidates in good overall health.

There are still some surgeons out there are experienced, but have their own agenda (trying to prove their theories or philosophies...at the expense of their patients). WE ARE NOT LAB RATS!
