You are a lucky man, NC! We are so short of NS here that you really have to work to get questions answered. As for dialogue, well... My NS idea of informed consent is to describe the procedure in 10 words and then list off the risks, I guess so he's protected in case of litigation.
Dianey, I'd try to find someone who has more on the ball, both in terms of communication skills and experience. As the others have suggested, do your research. But even then, don't make assumptions. Go in prepared with a list of questions, and try to take someone helpful with you.
