Basically lack of communication.... I have emailed, called no response and im a week out.

I'll pm you :D

No response from Trish? I found that Facebook was the best way to get in contact with her, have you tried that?

I think Dr. Garcia was WONDERFUL!!! But I don't know anything about the one you are scheduled with. But only being a week out... can you switch???

Yes, alma said they could I just have to decide today.

I was interested in Ponce, but had a hard time getting replies as well. :( I did finally get one, but took several attempts. I'm certain Dr. Ponce is a wonderful surgeon, and I have heard great things about Trish, just the lack of communication is what made me look elsewhere.

Who did u end up using? If u dont mind sharing.

Trish said she's calling you... You'll love her! And yes, Dr Ponce is excellent

I'm going to use Dr. Aceves hopefully this summer :)

I went with Dr. Garcia and I must say communication was the least of my concerns. They communicate effectively and quickly. They are thorough. Best of luck :-)

I went with Dr. Garcia too. Tried Dr. Ponce but response time was super slow and when I finally got the medical questionnaire Trish sent me one already filled out with someone's personal and medical info on it. Didnt like that!!
