Charm,

Thanks. Yes, I am considering 3 different surgeons. I only know one of them; he's a nice guy and I feel he did a decent job on my pan-endoscopy (and bi-lateral tonsillectomy) last April... but MRND is a lot more complicated. The other two were recommended by my RO, and they both belong to the same institution as my RO. So how do I go about choosing among them?
