"I have not picked a surgeon yet. From my understanding there are only a couple in the Tulsa area.
I'm leaning toward Gorospe but I heard he has a partner that does the surgery now also.
I will be attending a Seminar on 9.12.02 and hopefully I can make an informed decision after the seminar.
09/10/02 My PCP informed me my referral was approved to see Dr. Gorospe. I called his office today and got VM with the scheduling person.
I knew they were busy, so the waiting begins.
09.10.02 It took less than 1 hr and the Doctor's office called to set my appointment. After asking the standard questions, Name, DOB, address, Weight, Height.
They scheduled an appointment for 9.18.02
I picked Dr. Gorospe but I understand there is a Dr. Boschez in his office also. I'll have to check to make sure Bosquez is listed under AETNA. Well he Boaquez is listed under AETNA also, so I guess we will just see how things go.<br>
9.18.02 The office staff was great, the herded us in an out and they were very friendly. Dr. Gorospe may need to lighten his patient load since Dr. Borquez is no longer there. He seemed to be pre-occupied and just not that interested one on one. He come off a lot better in a group setting. He was very informative an group and addresse all the risk and benifits. He always let us know it was our choice. I'm pretty sure his surgical competence is way better, I don't think I'll see him again anyway until the actual surgery. His staff is who you have the most contact with."
