"I was recommended by another member to try this surgeon so
after my PCP consultation i plan to schedule an appointment for
my first Pre-op consultation. I also considered Dr. Elliot Goodman
of the Bronx, NY, but he seems to be a very busy Dr. that only works
out of that office 1 day a week not a good chance of even
getting an appointment with him this YEAR! I
think i will stick with Dr. Gagner but i will up
date and let you know. Later!
As of now, 8/21/04, I have decided on a surgeon. Dr. Piotr Gorecki, of New York Methodist Hospital. He comes highly recommended in the field from collegues and patients he was really warm and kept asking if I had any questions for him. I felt really comfortable with him. Since meeting for my initial consultation on 8/4/04 I have had some of the pre-op testing done. I ran into a little hitch, I changed my insurance since I didn't like the co-pay of $20 for normal PCP visits and I ended up extending my surgery time since I had to redo everthing (testing/approval) with my new insurer HIP-Prime. But it was all worth it HIP-Prime was quick and painless no complaints from me. I have scheduled an appointment for surgery for November 7, 2005.11/17/05 Thank You Dr. Gorecki you are so Wonderful!"
