Thank you Mark & Maria
Mark said it best, I also belong to that other website and over there Dr Zeegers is not nearly as popular as the 2 'Hot Rockstars' Clavel & Bierstedt. I have nothing against either of them, but in the end it was Zeegers experience and attention to details that won me over. Being a computer programmer I always look at everything analytically and I was able to overlook some of his quirks and concentrate on his pure surgical ability and it was clear to me that he was the logical choice.
I will make some posts after the surgery and keep everyone up to date.
