I didn't read the article thoroughly, but one point to think about is patients may be more likely to visit with a particular doctor if said doctor frequently performs the surgery they believe will help them. I am the perfect example of this. I went to a particular doctor with the expectation that he would eventually perform the surgery I desired. He did technically evaluate if I was a good candidate, but I got the impression his patients only visit him if they want the surgery performed. He also does a lot of these surgeries, making him more experienced and more attractive as a surgeon. I would imagine this Florida doctor is similar.
