Also he didn't check me at all during my first app , just asked what sort of problems I have and straight away discussed lap. Is it normal? I did think that dr should do the check up when you see him first time. I am so confused...
It's been so long since I had my first app with my surgeon, gosh 10 years now, but I am pretty sure we went straight down the lap route without too much in the way of a physical examination. They can't tell much from checking you internally and endo can only be diagnosed via lap so it sounds fine.

As long as you like him and trust him that's good.

I think it's a big call for anyone to be the number one, there quite a few good surgeons around, not many, but a few.
