Guest guest Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 I shopped around too and did find other doctors that would do the surgery for less, however, what it came down to for me was this board and Dr. A's picture. I know it is silly but I looked at all the dr's eyes and I felt the most comfortable with Dr. A. I can say that I am glad I made the decision I did! I was very impressed with the staff and the hospital. Also, when making your decision make sure you check and see if their price includes a hospital stay or hotel stay. One price I found very cheap but I would only have been in the hospital for a few hours and then moved to a hotel which I did not want. Plus, I was weary of a very low price (found one for $6900) b/c I questioned why the dr. was willing to be so low compared to others in the area.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 , I just wanted to tell you I chose Dr. A the same way. I had shopped around, but it was his picture that I was drawn too. It does sound silly, but I chose Dr. A because of his picture. .

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 - I am glad I am not the only one! I have never told my family that- they would die to know that is how I picked my dr. but I think we made the right choice! > > > > was there a jan feb special with doc A that was cheaper then usual? > i > > accidently deleted this and wanted to find out if this was him or > > another band doc. > > Im trying to get this scheduled. > > dawn m > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 Thats soo funny. One reason I picked Dr A was for his picture also.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 Oh, I’m sure we made the right decision. Hey, never underestimate a woman’s intuition.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 Woman's intuition is valid. It really is. I did a LOT of research and I had it down to two docs. Between intuition and photo I picked Dr. Aceves. He's just a lot more relaxed, not stuffy, not annoying, he didn't look creepy in his GOOD photo, and I made the right choice. There were cheaper docs and more expensive docs. But if I had it all to do over again I certainly wouldn't change docs. I wouldn't even consider it. I'm still shocked at the difference in medical care between the US and Mexico. In the US you wait 2 hours for a seven minute appt. In Mexico you wait 7 minutes for a 2 hour appt. Then there are staff issues too. I mean, just look at Nina, Yolanda, Gaby, , Lucy, ... everyone, they are great. You just can't get that in the US. It doesn't happen, not the package deal, meaning staff, doc, and great medical care. Elam <welam@...> wrote: Oh, I’m sure we made the right decision. Hey, never underestimate a woman’s intuition.
