My name is Nikki. I'm a mother of three living in Southern California. I'm currently looking for the right doctor/clinic to have the surgery. I'm paying out-of-pocket so I also need a place that has financing. I am SO glad I found these forums as I was feeling a bit lost, wandering around the internet looking for information. Looking forward to 'talking' to everyone.

If anyone has a doctor recommendation (or someone I should avoid) for the Simi Valley/Westlake/Ventura area, please let me know!

Hi Nikki, welcome aboard. You might have better luck finding a doc in your specific area if you look in the "doctors and hospitals" subforum on the main page. Also, you might look in the "local support groups" subforum. If you find a group local to you, then maybe you can ask some of them if they can recommend somebody. Is that as clear as mud? lol. Anyway, good luck to ya!!
