Guido, there isn't any place that I know of that has the information you seek. My experience is that a small number of internet vocal reviewers will dominate the reviews and that type of anecdotal information is of little value. Most states have websites available on which you can find information on lawsuits against the doctors and a lot of lawsuits are a bad sign, unless the surgeon helps develop or is an early adopter of new technology.... this makes him or her an easy target so the lawsuit data doe not provide an accurate representation of the doctors skills or abilities.

Good luck... let us know if you find anything useful.

Mark
