Whether facing an operation or diagnostic test, it is only natural to wonder about the experience of your physician and the institution at which he or she works. More than just common wisdom, procedural volume is a proven predicter of the success of a procedure and likelihood of complications. For this reason, you should feel free to ask your physician about his/her experience. Likewise, we feel it essential to let you know our institutional volumes.
