Unfortunately, you will likely get many docs (or friends, family members of docs) skewing your research. An internet site such as this will not be helpful for generating true statistical outcomes. The best way to conduct a legitimate research study of this type would be to obtain client satisfaction ratings over time. This will be a lengthy process, but will result in valid results. Controlling for outliers, and accounting for demographic variables is necessary as well. You will also need a large subject pool per surgeon as well as per procedure. It might be difficult to generate this type of data due to privacy laws, as well as many people being secretive about PS.
