doing some research...
I'm shooting blanks trying to find out more information about Dr. Hoddinott that used to practice at St. Luke's in Bethlehem. From what I understand he has relocated to central FL (where I am). I'm at the beginning process of trying to find a DS surgeon. There doesn't seem to be a lot of information him and the DS board people don't know a thing about him either. Any assistance or information anyone can provide would be so greatly appreciated.
Thank you all ever so much...this is just too important to 'wing-it'

Well, not that I did research on DS surgeons.....or had the DS procedure.....but I haven't heard his name mentioned on this board....and I've been around for well over 2 years. Granted - it's possible I missed the name.....but it doesn't sound familiar.
Good luck on your journey!
Instead of complaining that the rosebush has thorns, be happy that the thorn bush has roses. 

Unfortunately, like Pam - I've been here 3 years and haven't heard his name mentioned. St Lukes is an excellent hospital and I am sure that their program is as well - it is one of the "up and coming". They didn't have one when I was researching.
Good Luck!
My suggestion - go for the consultation and meet him, you'll get a good idea from that appointment.

below is the link for his page on OH. There are many reviews by his patients. I hope this helps. I have heard his name before and yet I don't know where or why. Also, google dr. hoddinott St. Lukes and you will get a list of results. Google can be a wealth of information.
