Does anyone know how popular he is and if it's difficult to get a surgery date with him? Basically, is the waiting list (if there is one) relatively long? Because I don't have all the docs required by him yet, but if he tends to be busy I might want to get them asap :o.
Dr Garramone is one of the most popular surgeons right now. I didnt have any problem getting into him though. I scheduled my surgery about 2 months in advance and I was able to pick my date with no problem. You will have to have a conultation with him and you can do that on the phone, he will ask questions and things like that. Then when you schedule your surgery date you have to pay $500 that day. The rest of the money is due 2 weeks before surgery. You will need blood work done and a letter from you therapist. as long as he has those 2 things the day before your pre-op visit then you're good. hope that helped man
Helped tons :) thanks Jet (whoops, Parker).
no problem man!
yeah i just went to him for a consult and he said that as long as you avoid the "busy months"(March, December, and summer months) there really shouldn't be a problem booking a month or 2 on advance.
Crap I was planning for summer ::) oh well it was just wishful thinking anyway.
you can still plan for then you just have to book further in advance.
I'd love to but I'm not at all prepared. No letter, no funds, no means of getting down there :o there's a lot to sort out so if I do try for this coming summer, it'd probably be relatively short notice. I'll see how it goes though, thanks for the info guys :).
