"See my personal comments for info leading to the consultation.***************I had my consultation and was very impressed. I had a morning appt. & overall the visit took about 2 hours. It was quite thorough - After the initial paperwork I saw 1 person to have my vitals taken. Then I saw Dr. Capella. His initial question was "Do you have any questions" - and I had plenty. We went over my questions/concerns and then went through the paperwork. The whole time he was informative, caring & really listened to me. Then I had a physical followed by meeting with Jackie to discuss the surgery more, schedule a date and talk about insurance. I was So completely impressed with this portion of my visit I can't even express it. Jackie worked with my schedule limitations and also made me feel confident that my insurance concerns will be taken care of to the best of their ability. (They arent on my preferred provider list but I can go out of network. I think this will cost more than I initially anticipated but I totally think it will be worth it. I was just happy to figure out the ballpark costs beforehand instead of it sneaking up on me later!) Overall, I have a warm n fuzzy feeling about my surgeon selection and am grateful to this website and the other members for helping come to my decision!!!!
ps: even though I thought I was prepared it would have helped if i'd had my INSURANCE CARD! They were even Super in understanding that...."
