Default You're limiting your area

Stoked,

Firstly, welcome to the forum! Secondly, while there might be ADR surgeons in the areas you suggest, they are not well known on these boards. Most people who are seeking ADR surgery are willing to travel almost anyplace in the U.S. as well as Europe.

Do you have some type of travel limitation? I know there are good ADR surgeons in Baltimore, Florida, Colorado, Texas, Seattle, and California. Other members, feel free to add to my list. ADR is a very serious decision and I would not recommend you limit the surgeon to one geographic area. It's very important to get a surgeon who is competent. ADR is not mainstream in the U.S. at this point in time and you may have to travel to find a good surgeon.

Good luck!!
Gene
