Hi Rita, CONGRATS!! on the approval! Here in Florida I had to find a "Hospital of Excellance" which ment they had done a certain amount of successful surgerys. My ins. company was able to give me the list of DR's that I could use and I then check them out and made my decission as to whom I wanted to use. Start close to home or closest hospital and find out who does the surg you were approved for. I found my state ins to be very helpful when I was looking. Best of luck to you!
