Keep... I personally know one patient who flew 1200 miles for surgery by this guy.  ™ 
I note that:  Did you mean 12,000 miles? Maine to Oregon is about 3,000 miles. So 1200 miles would be ??Chicago-Phoenix??, which is probably average for a surgeon with patients from all over the world.  He certainly would have patients from 12,000 to 15,000 miles away who receive his unique handiwork. (emailing me is okay) Thanks for helping keep that bit of information in the uberpedia.  "
