Greg,
I suggest that you do research. It's my opinion that the doctors who are experts in a procedure publish a lot....I suggest that you go to pubmed.

Hi Greg,
If you are near the Boston, MA area, I can recommend an institution and a surgeon who implanted my AMS 800.

AMS 800 help
Dear Greg,
In my experience, a good source of information of high quality surgeons in your area is by contacting American Medical Systems directly. They know the top surgeons in various areas around the nation. But I have found that you still need to ask whoever it is they recommend how many artificial sphincter procedures the surgeon does per year. If the surgeon does less than 20-30/year then you may want to consder looking for a larger volume surgeon. As with anything, the more experience your surgeon has, the better chance you have of having a good outcome.
