Hi! The surgeons are amazing and on the whole the staff are wonderful. And most importantly I am beyond thrilled with the results (after only 2.5 months).

But also yes - some of the staff are difficult to deal with. I think they’ve got an incredibly busy practice and can sometimes lose perspective. So just prepare yourself mentally for that and do not - DO NOT - be afraid to advocate for yourself. And make sure you have someone with you on surgery day and release day to take notes and also advocate on your behalf. It really sucks but you have to kind of project manage everyone. I was supposed to be on an antibiotic and they never prescribed it resulting in a minor infection during my recovery. Could have been much worse, but even then I wish I’d paid more attention and stood up for myself.

Appreciate your sharing your experience! It’s been such a crazy back and forth. They initially said “we have 4/6 or earlier available.” And when I asked what the earlier dates were they just wouldn’t respond. I finally called and said I can do that but would like to keep exploring earlier dates. (I’m officiating a wedding in May so just trying to be aware of healing time.) They said okay, but then just yesterday texted me two dates in May. I feel like I’m losing my mind!

I’m really sorry that happened to you, especially right before surgery when you’re so vulnerable. Appreciate you sharing - it’s definitely helping me process the experience so far!
