Unsure of what to do
Jul 15, 2009
I am unsure of what to do. I know I want the DS, but it's a matter of where to go to have it done. Right now, I am trying to decide between 3 options/surgeons.
- Dr. Dennis Smith - positives are that he is close by in GA, he is a very well known/respected here at OH and has lots of positive reviews. Negatives are that he charges a $500 program fee. First, I have to fill out a really long application, send it back in and wait to see if he would even accept me as a patient.
- Dr. Donald Maynard - positives are that he is close by in GA. Negatives are that I don't know much about him. There are only 8 or so reviews here at OH. I'm sure he is a great surgeon, but I'd like to get more feedback from other people.
- Dr. William Peters - positives are that he is very well known and respected here at OH, has lots of positive reviews and he spoke to me in person on the phone for 1 hour when I called his office for more information. He is to the point and very honest about everything. Negatives are that he is in PA and that's about 11-12 hours from SC. He doesn't charge a program fee, but it might be cheaper in the end to just to go to GA.
I am so confused on what to do. I know the easiest thing would be to go somewhere close by. Plus, I need to think of what would be the financially smart thing for me to do.
