More soon, david djstrong@f... , Would it be against the website policy to list the EPs in this elite group? I know we aren't supposed to criticize doctors by name, but I can't remember any rule that forbids us to name the skilled ones who have 80 to 90 percent success rates. I know that many of us would be interested in the names and locations if you can list them. Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
