"I made my first call to BTC last week. After I received their information, I called them back 2/7/01. 2/7/01 Penny got me my first consultation next TUESDAY!!!! I'll tell you more after that! 2/15/01 I saw Dr. Berkowitz at my consult. He was a really nice man. He has had 20+ years of experience. I know he will be a good surgeon. He was ery friendly and informative at the consult! 3/16/01 I was approved for surgery on March 1st. It was supposed to take only a week for the scheduler to contact me with a date. BUT She JUST reached me 2 days ago. So 2 weeks. Also, Dr. Berkowitz told me that I would have surgery within 3 weeks. Since he only had a short waiting list. BUT, Jeanette, the scheduler, wouldn't get me in until April 26, 2001. GEEEZ. Anyway, I am still happy with my choice of BTC, but not to happy with the scheduling process. June 11,2001 I was overall happy with my choice in Hospital/Dr. I did have a few problems in the hospital however. One nurse took me for a walk at 9pm roughly, and said I needed to sit up in my chair for 1 hour, then in an hour I would get a breathing treatment. Well I fell asleep and 3 hours later, the nurse came back for my breathing treatment. I was so stiff, cuz was only supposed to sit for an hour.. I couldn't stand up, and was on MAJOR doses of pain meds for the next 2 days. Well, I am home now, and doing pretty well. I will post more when I get the insurance bill! (IF ANY!)"
