I understand your concern. My husband had hip replacement surgery in Houston at Baylor. Our normal much recommended surgeon that we had seen before was an older black man booked for 6 months. We went with his second in command. Turned out to be a young 6 foot tall slender gorgeous blonde woman. It was concerning because she looked like a super model. Husband was in much pain and we decided our concerns were all about "looks".
Husband had a fabulous surgery and recovery. At the hospital the nurses would give the normal "do this not that" instructions, but would stop and say no " you are Dr. Palisch's patient. You don't have those instructions". He was back bossing in one week and climbing (slowly) 3 flights of stairs to bid a job in three weeks. She is now married and at Kelsey Seybold. I looked because we wanted to use her for another surgery. She is out of network. Best orthopedic surgeon ever. Judge based on results. Both of these surgeons deserve credit for being excellent in their field.
