Post by: lovelessheart on September 15, 2013, 02:23:23 PM
it seems that all doctors has its bad days and good days . you cant please everyone. but is it really a such thing as choosing the wrong doctor? maybe if it was their first time performing srs. but not if they do it constantly right?

It comes down to being relaxed on who you have do your SRS.

Many hold to many high personal expectations of what they want and seem to push for the BEST, but who is the best???? For me it was experience over price. I went with one of the pioneers in the field and super happy with my outcomes.

It is major surgery and its a art. As in any art there is the material you use and everyones is different. As in nature i am glad mine is mine and not the same as thousands of others.

I think so, but I don't think any of the major names would qualify. The guy a friend ran across who does it as *outpatient,* though... One hour in surgery, then puts you in a cab still doped up, all for $5K, yeah, I wouldn't use him! (On the other hand, I can't even recall his name and I don't know anyone who did use him, so I'm not sure he's even a real surgeon as opposed to a random scam.)

Doctors with bad days are bad doctors. I am a doctor too and I can't afford me a bad day. All my patients have the right to get the best care. Bad days are unacceptable in our job.
