I got surgery through him in July.
He's a good surgeon in spite of old negative reviews but the low cost of surgery he offers is offset by the cost of aftercare especially if you stay at Daddy-O (and there's only 2 hotel choices, Daddy-O and Baltic which is a little more ghetto but closer to a publix so food is cheaper). Surgery is 14.5k, hotel was 100 a night average (it's gone up at daddy-o), car rental was 500 for 21 days total.
You
MUST have another person with you for a week or so post op just in case. Reed will give office line and his mobile phone number in case of an emergency at night. He also gets crap for the outpatient nature of surgery but I've seen worse with a surgeon who shall not be named. Yes, you stay at his office overnight for observation with Dr Reed sleeping in office in case needed. Transportation back to hotel is provided by Reed himself and yes, everyone bleeds a little in his car, he's used to it.
My only complication from the surgery itself resulted from a blood disorder we assumed I didn't have so make sure insurance covers Mount Sinai hospital in case of bleeding (which again, can happen with any surgeon). Reed does quick checks daily at 7:30 to 8:30 am and if you stay for more than the usual 10ish days post he doesn't mind if you just go to his office. The only real annoyance relates to the post op instruction of keeping the urinary catheter for 12 days post and the outer stitches at 14 days post.
He's pretty picky with preop labs so don't be surprised if he suggests testosterone to force hematocrit to increase (red blood cell count by volume). Again, aftercare in Miami is expensive so insurance that covers meds is a must as is budgeting for food, car rental, entertainment, etc.
