How can I assure myself??

The Dr. I have chosen to do the surgery currently works in a teaching hospital. I have NEVER heard any bad reports about the hospital or its doctors, but I DO NOT want a student doing the surgery. I understand that the doctors of this country need to learn somewhere, but I don't feel comfortable with a student working on me with this type of surgery!! Can I reqest the doctor sign a written statement saying that HE will be the one doing the surgery, or do they do that already. I feel like I want it in writing that I don't want a student working on me. How should I handle this??
