Hi! I'm new here (obviously) and have some questions.

How did you go about scheduling your surgery with Dr. Aceves? Did you just call the number on the web site? Which website, b/c I see several and I worry about ID theft, haha.

Also, how do you get approved if he doesn't see you prior to the surgery?:clap2:

Oh, and how long did you wait from first contact to actual surgery? I'm thinking November might be a good time for me. Thanks!

Just so you know, some credit card companies charge a fee also, so check with your credit card company to know ahead of time.

Mine doesn't, but I know some do, if they do, it is usually about the same amount. 1-3%

Thanks for the responses. They were very helpful.

I work as an Accountant and I know on one of our business cards the international transaction fee is 10%. Careful!

I have been wondering about how payment is done. I have heard that mail service in Mexico is very undependable. So do you mail the deposit regular mail?

How do you pay the rest? Does his office accept a personal check or do you have to take cash. I will be nervous carrying a lot of cash around for such a trip.

Will he accept credit card payment?

You mail the check to a PO Box in the US.

You pay the balance the day you have your pre-op tests in the form of a cashier's check. They do accept charge cards; however, they charge an additional fee for the use of them - I think like 3% -- get a cashier's check and you'll be safe. We've done it that way 2 times -- once for my surgery, once for Bearded's. As for the deposit, they will take a personal check.

sorry my response was duplicative - the other posts didn't show up when I responded ... :scared0:
