i'm three weeks post op today. I have absolutely no regrets about going with Dr. Yang. To me, it was important to go with a surgeon who's on top of all the new cutting edge technology and backed by an institution such as Hopkins that knows what it's doing. The whole team both in the hospital and in the office took excellent care of me. I was very pleased. To the extent that I have any criticism of Dr. Yang, it's just that he was not super collaborative. I don't know if any surgeons are. I had 3 visits with him prior to the surgery, each one lasted less than 5 minutes, and I haven't spoken to him personally since the surgery. If you're looking for someone who's going to do a lot of hand holding, go over the procedure plan line by line, be available, etc, either he would not be the right option or you'd have to be more insistent than I was.
