Surgery? Patients Have Choices.
Not all surgeries are equal. Will your surgery be done open? Laparoscopic? Robotic? Is your surgeon experienced in your procedure? Will recovery happen near home, at home, or in a remote city? What are your Out-of-Pocket expenses? The answers should influence patients’ choices.
The choice of surgeon can have significant patient impact. Some surgeons are more experienced and skilled than others. Some surgeons have better outcomes than others. This means that your choice of surgeon could make a difference in whether or not you experience complications, how much discomfort you feel during recovery, and how quickly you get back to normal activities. Patients who experience complications after surgery may need to stay in the hospital longer, and may need additional physical therapy or rehabilitation to regain their strength and function. In some cases, complications can lead to permanent disability. Choosing a “great” surgeon over a “good” surgeon is meaningful.
