I worked for a surgical robotics company as well as other medical device companies, and procedure lengths and surgical wait times both decreased in facilities with the device. Based on my experience the danger is in areas like "will we over-prescribe imaging tests even more than now?" but as to whether we'd need less doctors to treat the same number of patients, the answer is yes.
