Your best place for this type of information would be to call HealthPlus for a list of surgeons in your specified area.
You can also find a surgeon based on specialty: http://www.facs.org/patienteducation/patient-resources/surgery/acsmember.html
Lastly, ask your primary care physician for referrals and recommendations.
Once you have this list narrowed to a few surgeons, you can call this doctors' office and ask, "what is your recent record of successes and complications with this surgery?". You can read about their credentials (most of this information is online), and here is a list of credentials to look for: http://www.facs.org/public_info/yourhealth/findadoc.html.
Please let us know if you have any additional questions!
