Here's a suggestion I learned while at a good hospital emergency room.
The e.r. Dr told me about it
I went in for hernia pain.they did a cat scan and it was bad but not being strangeled.so they sent me home I didn't need emergency surgery.(which I was happy about) but I was worried about finding the right surgeon.the e.r. Dr said the surgeon that was on call for e.r.that would of done the surgery if needed at time.i can call his office and he would have to give me a follow up appt.which i did and let him do my surgery.it was great success he said I was lucky to find him as a surgeon he usually fixes other drs hernia patches
