I am told he operates out of the Leesburg Hospital.
Has anyone had any experiences with this surgeon, good or bad, that I should be aware of before I make a decision?
Any information - good or bad - is appreciated.

i was diagnosed with cancer in 2003. I was referred to an oncologist then and my internist also referred me to a different radiologist for a second opinion who referred me to a Cancer --Breast Cancer Specialist Surgeon--. Most oncologists prefer you have a definitive diagnosis of cancer first. Then I went to a different radiologist for the radiation treatments. That was 10 years ago and I understand now there are different methods of treatment depending on your type of cancer diagnosis. I had great care and trust in all my doctors and that is very important.
