Hey all!
I am beginning the process of getting my bottom surgery scheduled, and I have some questions about Mass General and how they are.
My insurance shows Mass Gen as an in-network hospital and has already stated that they'll cover me there. However I have heard/read many mixed reviews about the Dr.'s there....Has anyone on here been there or can give me some first-hand account on how they are?
I would LOVE Mt Sinai to do my surgeries (I am also looking to get FFS, and both places do both) and if I fight, I can get mt sinai covered, but it'll be a battle....
So, can anyone share stories/reviews/accounts of how they are there?

I had my orchiectomy with Dr Oates. I'm thrilled with the results, and the experience. I was living in Weymouth at the time, so the idea of a twenty minute ride home from surgery was appealing. :)
I documented my whole experience in this thread. (https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,224375.0.html) I had some issues during healing as you'll see, but everything worked out fine.
Hugs, Devlyn

Hi Devlyn
Thanks for your reply!
I had my orchi performed at Dartmouth last october. It was a great process. Now, I'm on to the next step! thank you for your input and I'm sure your blog posts will be helpful!
