How to know which doctor?

[Stolli]

I am looking for a good transplant surgeon in Los angeles or St. Louis....but cant figure out what criteria to use when choosing one. I went on IHARS and had a consultation with dr. mcandrews who is the head but he was way too expensive..

then i found a doctor in my area from IHARS named straub and he was more affordable but the reviews on several forums were not too good.

Does anybody have a surgeon they can recommend? how do you guys pic? Thanks
