The decision was easy for me. Dr. Rumbaut has the highest level of experience, a great support staff, everyone speaks great english, and the hospital (San Jose) is state of the art and equal to any major US hospital. Frankly, I consider him and his facility superior to any choice currently available in the US. Charlie S

I was just banded by Dr. Rumbaut 11/3/05. He is definitely certified, one of the most experienced band surgeons in the world, and does have his own band. He does proctor new surgeons in the procedure. The bonus is that his hospital, San Jose, is also state of the art, and equal in capability (and cleanliness) to any US major hospital. Charlie S
