Surgeon Info:
Surgeon: Ajay Goyal, MD, FACS
AT FIRST I THOUGHT HE WAS WAY TO SERIOUS !
AS TIME WENT ON DURING THE PROCESS, I WAS AMAZED AT HOW MUCH HE CARED ABOUT MY SAFETY,AND WAS NOT JUST INTERESTED IN RUSHING
INTO SURGERY.
HE RECENTLY MOVED IN TO A LARGER OFFICE WITH
ACCESSABILITY FOR PEOPLE WITH PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS. HIS STAFF ARE ALL FRIENDLY, AND
MAKE YOU FEEL AT EASE. THEY ARE VERY HELPFUL
WITH THE PRE-SURGERY AS WELL AS POST SURGERY
PROCESS.
I COULD NEVER SAY ANYTHING NEGATIVE ABOUT DR. GOYAL, AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED,HE GAVE
ME A SECOND CHANCE AT LIFE. ALWAYS ENCOURAGING, SUPPORTIVE AND JUST PLAIN KIND. DR. GOYAL HAS A GREAT SUPPORT GROUP THAT MEETS ONCE A MONTH. HE ATTENDS, AS WELL AS A NUTRITIONIST AND A PSYCHOLOGIST. IT HELPS
TO GET TO KNOW OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE GONE
THROUGH THE SURGERY TOO.
BEFORE SURGERY, EVERYTHING IS EXPLAINED IN
DETAIL, FROM THE BIGGEST TO THE SMALLEST RISK. I WENT INTO SURGERY WITH OPEN EYES,
BUT GREAT CONFIDENCE THAT IT WOULD TURN OUT WELL. I WENT TO THE OR THAT DAY WITH PEACE OF MIND THAT ONLY A GOOD, KIND AND COMPETANT SURGEON COULD IMPART. I COULD NOT IMAGINE ANY ONE ELSE DOING SURGERY ON ME BUT HIM. I AM A NURSE WHO HAS WORKED WITH MANY DOCTORS OVER THE PAST 30 YEARS, AND HAVE NEVER SEEN A SURGEON WHO FOLLOWED HIS PATIENTS PRE AND POST OP LIKE HIM. I DON'T THINK I WOULD HAVE DONE AS WELL AS I DID IF IT HADN'T BEEN FOR DR. GOYAL. HE TRULY CARES ABOUT ALL OF US, AND PURELY BY HIS ACTIONS LETS US KNOW IT.

MY PROBLEM WAS THAT IT HAD TO GO THROUGH MY
UNION FOR APPROVAL FIRST,THAT BEING WHERE THE DELAY WAS. BLUE CROSS MEMBER SERVICES ACTUALLY HELPED ME LIGHT A FIRE UNDER MY UNION. ONCE THEY GOT THE OKAY, THEY PROCESSED
MY PRECERT FAIRLY QUICKLY. I'VE TALKED TO PEOPLE WITH OTHER INSURANCE COMPANIES AND BLUE CROSS SEEMS PRETTY REASONABLE IF YOU CAN
SHOW MEDICAL NECCESSITY.
