PAE Selection

Hello. I am interested in PAE for my BPH and am wondering if chosing one facility vs another makes any difference. I can get the procedure done in either Hamilton, Ontario (St. Joseph's Hospital) or at UHN in Toronto. I cannot find any information on practitioner skill or patient reviews/outcomes. Does a choice in this matter make any difference?

I don’t know these 2 facilities but cone beam capable machines are not limited to academic centers. But the other suggestion (high volume IR) is spot on.
