To the surgery? Committed. To a surgeon? Working on it.

I don't know anything about those surgeons, and I think it would be hard to choose long distance! It was so important to me to have a surgeon (and the practice) that "got it" beyond the surgery - I needed the long term support! Many say they offer it, but when I found the doc I went to, I knew this was what I was looking for.

Suggest thinking about your most important criteria and what it is you are really looking for... then you will know it when you find it!

I feel the same way. Committed to the surgery.. The patient coordinators with their own agendas are becoming a pain my a**. I think dr Lopez and dr ponce both seem to be good. I'm sure you'll be fine choosing either one. I'm leaning on dr Lopez now in puerto Vallarta.
