I'm just wondering, for those of you who had to travel to get your surgery done, how did you handle the initial consultation, follow-ups, etc? Did you have to fly out several times? How long did you stay in town after the surgery? How much did travel costs/lodging/food, etc. end up adding to the amount you paid for surgery?
With Dr. Brownstein we did the initial consults by email, and then had a pre-op appointment the day before surgery. I stayed in the area until the sutures were removed at 7 days. I was in SF for 10 days.

email/phone consultation. i'm going to brownstein as well. i'm gonna be in SF for 8 nights.
price will vary depending on who you go to and where you stay.
My hotel is over $2000 but my mom is splitting the cost with me. we are getting one with a kitchen so we won't have to eat out all the time, and its only half a mile from the surgery center so that's cool.
overall it is going to cost me aprox 10k
Went 2 Brownstein to. Had my consultation by phone & stayed w/my bro & cousin after surgery. then went back 2 d.c. saved more money & moved here. been livin here 4 more then a yr. :icon_dance:
Another Brownstein here. I have to agree w/ JT I spend about the same amount, also did the kitchen thing and it worked out well. The first day or two I couldn't have eatn restaurant food...
