You should be good for the start of next season. Had mine in Nov and could swing a bat with no problem, throwing took a year or so but then I pitched so wasn't a big deal.
What would you do??

Who do you play for in Abq?
I had shoulder surgery 10 years ago after blowing it out pitching in highschool. I did not research the doctor and just went with one the highschool athletic trainer recommended. I was too young and uneducated to know any differently. I went from an 18 year old throwing upper 80's to a 27 year old who needs icy hot and ibuprofen to loosen up my arm. Put very simply, WHATS AN EXTRA 8 HOURS DRIVING, FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE?

Either find someone on the black market or see if you can youtube/google something and do it yourself. Save the money

My doc didn't mention anything about El Paso and I didn't think to ask. Besides, Dr. Guttman has a pretty impressive resume and I was told he's the best in this area. If there was a better doc in El Paso, I'm sure he would've mentioned it.

If you can afford to take the time, drive there, etc. I would see the better of the two. If it is a non-throwing shoulder and you know that softball is just a game and if you were unable to come back and still live with yourself, then it doesn't matter which you see. The one close to you is probably good enough if the damage isn't terrible. So, the labrum is torn, but is there a lot of arthritis in the joint? Do you have good space left in the joint? If you have ground hamburger and you want to still play ball just go see the best you can.
I would go see Dr. James Andrews
, that or go to the Steadman Clinic in Colorodo.

I tore my labrum while living in western mass. and went local instead of driving to Boston and it was a mistake. If you don't go to the best it does not only effect softball...I'm sure as you can tell now anything you do with your arms above your head, including sleeping, is painful. I'm still in pain. I can't play outfield anymore because I can not stretch my arm out enough. If I take More than 10 warm up throws it hurts. Make the drive.

It's not like we're talking about open heart surgery here. This guy bats righty so I'm assuming this is also non-throwing shoulder.
My PT played on my league team with a torn labrum for years. How many visits and follow ups are we talking here? 5.5 hours isn't bad for one surgery, but I had to go see my doc about 6 times when I had my ACL surgery. That's going to suck if this guy is only 1% better than the local guy.
I think you should do some local research, and then do some more that's not through your doctor. Get a second opinion.

Both are current docs for D-1 teams so I guess it's a pretty safe bet with either.

I don't think so since most of us will be up there for the Enchilada. We were planning on going to West Coed worlds when we thought it was in AZ but its in Vegas this year.

We're trying to get a team together for the Vegas tourney too but not sure if it will pan out. We'll have to get together when you come down for the Enchilada. You guys playing C or D?
