There are far more success stories on here than not, I think.
PLUS, I think it is worth going with someone like Dr. Dare or Dr. Clavel who offer an insurance policy if something goes wrong. (Dr. Dare's isn't an insurance policy per se, but if anything goes wrong during your hospital stay it is covered at no additional charge).
One of the questions I asked Dr. Clavel (and I think it bears asking of ANY doc you are consulting with) is "What if something goes wrong?"
Their answer will tell you volumes.
