HOW MANY DS LAP SURGEONS?

Does anyone know how many DS surgeons do the lap in either the US or in the world? I'm putting my package together for the insurance company and want them to understand that Dr. Welker is doing something not all other Drs. are capable of/ or do.

Thanks for the replies.

just marked them on the Surgeons page of the DS website. If

there's an asterisk there, they do it lap.

Sandy, take a look at the Surgeons page on the DS website. The Lap DS

surgeons are asterisked. Those are the only ones I know of who do it lap.

Thanks, -- I emailed her to ask about it, since I knew she had worked

with Dr. Gagner. I haven't heard back from her yet. So, she is definitely

offering the Lap DS?

As far as I know she is. She is just starting her practice so I don't

know if she has done any yet at NYU but she is planning on it. You

should hear back from her soon. If not, let me know & I will call

her.
