hi SmileyJamie,

 I'm a patient of Dr. Greenbaum, and I have heard majority good things about him.  I went to him because he is a vetted surgeon on the East Coast. I just recently had my last appointment with him, and he did note in my paperwork and had me sign that i understood that if for some reason when he opens me up if he cant do the DS he will have to do one of the other surgeries. He has never pushed for me to do the other surgeries. He actually stated to me that the best surgery for me would be to have a revision to DS. 

Its awesome that you post this for everyone to see, the best advice I guess would be do you research, lots of it before you choose. One person's experience may not necessarily be the norm.

I reviewed your links. There is nothing in any of them that hint at Dr Gagner having any issues or questionable billing practises etc.

Perhaps YOU need to revise your statement.

If anyone in Canada needs a revision, it is typically Dr Gagner who does it as he has the most experience.

*I* will NOT revise anything.

For anyone researching these doctors, it hasn't been hard to find that information. If you're looking into using Gagner, you should be able to do your own research too, rather than needing it all done for you and handed to you on a platter.

ROFLMAO you soooo missed the point of that convo, beanybaby.

Yes, that is because your post was probably pulled.

No, you were pretty clear you couldn't find information in some links that were handed to you. 

I've been reading concerning things on Rabkin for about 5 years, and if you need to read it, find it your self. 

No one gives a **** whether you've read any of Rabkins issues or not, but just because you don't know how to research and read it yourself, doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Beanybaby!!!! 

You are NOT a sheeple, GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!  Some people just want to pick fights.

Unless you were in the OR while these surgeries were being conducted, you have no way of knowing whether or not the patient was even explaining the surgery properly or calling it by the correct name.

There is always two sides to every story... perhaps YOU should consider THAT "fact" before you trash someone's professional reputation
