Should I care how many procedures a surgeon has performed?

Yes, the experience of your surgeon is key when it comes to assessing their skill and the quality of surgery that you’re likely to receive. So, when you’re choosing a surgeon or other specialist, ask how many times they’ve completed the procedure they’re recommending for you.
