Dont go for a surgeon just because u can perhaps get in faster, be sure thats what your comfortable with first and as the others said its always a good idea to ask a list of questions. I had a great general surgeon that did my right hemi colectomy a few years ago but he would not do my ileostomy and proctocolectomy nor did my gastro want him to do it. He is a wonderful general surgeon but nothing beat a surgeon that specialises in colorectal surgeries. Just my thoughts on it, hope you make the decisions that best suits you. take care and keep us posted
