I did. He had a lot of patients but really took his time in discussing things:). Would highly recommend him:)

When I booked a week ago, (I'm March 28), Alma said it's a busy time of year with ppl getting their tax refunds back. They like to schedule only 4 surgeries/day. But you'll just have to call and see. Good luck!

And spring break

I didn't have a problem. I am at end of march but that's what I requested. Every time I asked her about a date it was open. Give her a call . She is awesome.

Mine is march 8th and today Alma said there were only 2 sch for that day inc me

It's prob good so my airline ticket won't be too bad! In excited! That is awesome that there will be some of you there too! She said there is some the first week of March available, but booked up besides that which is good!! It gives me time to plan! I was waiting on my ins to deny me or approve me but found out I would be paying 4700 out of pocket if approved and then the us surgeon would be 2 months out!!So decided on MX!

Yay! So you have decided to get the MX route after all? I'm still in shock over BCBS of AL.

Well I'm going with Dr. Garcia and I'm STILL over 2 months out!!! ;)

 

I had to book May 11th for my husband's work schedule and to have enough time to change my name on my passport! I think the wait might kill me! lol Good luck!!!!
