Title: FINDING OUT A DR'S STATISTICS
Post by: klm on May 15, 2008, 07:50:47 pm

I'm having trouble getting an answer to the question,"How many of this type of surgery have you done this year?"  How many for tumors of approximately this size?  It seems they often avoid the answer, or refer to their entire office, or give a very approzimate answer.

Is this information available on a website?  or in a medical journal? or somewhere else?

Do a search on the forum for a member with the name Nimmy.  I think he paid to search different on-line database doing research on different neurosurgeons and specialists.  I think he posted the different websites that he paid to search.  I remember him offering to email the results of his search.

Some states offer sites to find out such information...here's the one for Virginia:
