you settled on one? Is there usually a fee for the initial consulation and what is the cost?

I have a consult on April 28 and forgot to ask about the fee.

Yes, there is usually a fee for consultation. What I did was go to the free seminars that I think most surgeons have. I went to three different seminars, chose my surgeon then had the consult with just him.

Thanks Jodi. I have read about these seminars which seem to be quite popular in the U.K. but I've not heard of them here in Germany unfortunately.
