Does anyone have suggestions for how to find a good surgeon? It's been an absolute struggle to find a decent one in the Seattle area. I have a huge spreadsheet of docs and clinics I've called and most of them haven't even heard of the minimally invasive surgical techniques like THD, sutured mucopexy, etc. and only do banding, stapling, or excision. I went to a surgical consult a couple years ago and it was honestly traumatic with how rough and incurious the surgeon was, and how he didn't know or care about less painful techniques. How does anyone find a doc they can trust?

@Kevin why do they advertise something they do not offer?

I have contacted and seen specialists and everyone uses the knife. No one has given me any leads on finding IRC. Even contacted the friendly proctologist via email and he said anyone offering it will advertise. Everyone I’ve called that advertises it does not offer it.

@Kevin I assume you’ve contacted specialists and inquired for referrals?  It shouldn’t be hard to find

I’m in the US and have been scouring the internet and calling clinics and docs and yet to find anyone that offers laser. Willing to travel to other states

Laser shouldnt be hard to find.  Would that be an option?

Lizbeth do you know of someone that offers IRC?  Thanks

are you willing to fly to another state? @evie if yes, I can refer one to you

When I'm not building customer success stories at the office, I'm probably at home nose deep into a book.
