Guest guest Posted August 28, 2004 Report Share Posted August 28, 2004 I have an appointment with Dr Enns on the 8th of Septmeber. He is at Stanford. This will be my first time seeing him. I have spoken to him on the phone and he seems really nice. From the time I first called to set up an appointment to the time I will actually be able to see him will be a little less than 2 months. Which isn't very bad considering all the things I had to do before I could go. Like have all my various doctors send in my records. Along with my grandaughter's records too. I even had a week of vaction in there too. So I got in pretty fast. I was pleasantly surprised. So if you are not opposed to traveling.(I know it is quite a drive) That might be something to consider. Joanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Kathy, If you do need to fly somewhere to see a doctor there are organizations that will fly you for free. One of them is Miracle Flights and will pay for your flight on a jet and the other is Angel Flight which will find volunteer pilots to fly you in a small plane. I use Angel Flights to fly from Phila. to Boston and it cuts a 6 hr drive down to a 1 1/2 to 2 hr flight. It really is a wonderful organization and they pick me up from the small airport just 5 mins from my house. If you ever need anymore info. on either of those organizations, don't hesitate to ask.

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2004 Report Share Posted August 28, 2004 Can the Angel flights handle powerchairs? I always wondered, but never asked.

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2004 Report Share Posted August 28, 2004 , They can handle some fold up wheelchairs, but not power ones, or power scooters. In the back of the plane where the luggage goes is very small and there is also a limit of 50lbs. total luggage weight. Some pilots will help you get in and out of the plane.
