Default Has anyone had surgery w/Dr. Pimenta

Yes, this sounds weird. He collaborates with Dr. Regan and others from Brazil. I'm wondering if he's an excellent surgeon w/the same facilities. Why? The exchange rate might be better than in Europe now which sorta locks me out of this option (if need be).

Any information would be helpful as I've never seen any reference to this.

Well, it seems one American patient has had a procedure - as if I can translate:

I've been attending SAS, NASS and other conferences for 6 years now. I've seen Dr. Pimenta present at every conference. He is without question a world-leading, very well respected (even revered) surgeon.

I do not know about the facilities, but look forward to seeing them soon.
