Well, if you have heard things like that about any surgeon, I recommend go to someone else. I know how difficult it is to deal with a biased surgeon (I am not saying any LL surgeon is biased - I don't know), your life will become hell. I had to deal with a racist surgeon (not LL surgeon, none of the surgeons discussed in this forum) and he was so demeaning that I had to cry, I wanted to punch him, he was downright condescending on my race, skin color etc. So, even if you don't have proof, just heard something about a surgeon - that is red flag enough to not go to him/her, because you won't be able to go back and you will be in depression which is not good during LL. This is my honest opinion based on my experience with another (non LL) surgeon. In fact if I hear something like this for any surgeon (even without concrete proof) I will never take chances and will never to go that surgeon (that is my personal choice again). Note: My recommendation and what I write above is not to target any particular LL surgeon, I am not saying that I am aware of any LL surgeon treating some patients unfairly - I don't have any information on that, I am just saying what I would do if I hear something like that (about any surgeon) and giving my person opinion/recommendation to you.
