Where Does The Surgeon Stats Information Come From?

My surgeon is Dr. Thomas Umbach. It says he has 2 years of experience and does not take out of town patients or do out patient surgery.

Well, I am 2 years and 3 months post-op (and I was definitely not his first). I flew to see him from WA state (he is in Nevada) and he offered in/out patient and I chose out-patient so that I could actually rest the first night (hate being in hospitals and they wake you up to see how you are feeling!)

Anyone else notice incorrect information about their surgeon?

where are the stats at?

Just saw them, my surgeon's is off as well, the length of time he has been doing bariatric surgery and the % of his practice is off from what I can tell.

kinda on the same subject, can you or how do you add a surgeon?

I think in your profile now you can select who your surgeon was, they have a list. It's a pretty new feature.
