You keep saying this guy is the top 10 doc, but the question is 'top 10 in what'. I believe it may be laser surgery since he was only 1 or 2 in the country that did it on the larynx back in 2001 when I met him. This is not the surgery you are looking for. You want him to refer you to the top notch surgeon in that hospital who does the surgery you need and I'm not certain your cousin does. You also want his opinion of the guy in the dental dept just in case you don't like the one in otorhino. Usually they can get you in for at least a brief consult with the other doctor while you are there, but since your appointment is on a Weds, the other guy very well may be in surgery. Most appts are on Monday or Thursday there.

Good luck on Weds. and take your list of questions and make certain to get a referral if need be.

Take care,
Eileen
