Surgeons & Prices - Comments

[Guest guest]

I, too, chose to go to Dr. Feng - even though it was more expensive

then the others I had considered. I, too, have no regrets.

The reason Dr. Feng's a little more pricey, is that she has her own

completely staffed, operating room facilities and equipment. Her

operating costs would justify the extra cost, in my opinion. My sis

in law is a registered nurse and in management. She went with us on

the day of my surgery and was amazed at Dr. Feng's facilities. When

we came back, she exclaimed to me " I just don't see how she can

afford that place. Do you KNOW how expensive it is to have your own

operating room that is fully equipped for all situations, as hers

is??? I just don't see how she does this... " I said " well, she does

a lot of surgery and her prices are pretty high. " She said " I still

don't see how...you just don't know how costly it is to have a

facility such as hers. I am SO IMPRESSED. "

I had never thought about it until she made those comments. Most

surgeons must use other public hospital and O.R. facilities, and I

would think their overhead would be a lot less. I would think that

Dr. Feng's insurance fees would also be much higher.

Anyways, I liked the fact that she had the FREEDOM to do what she

believes is best and it was the best surgical experiences I have

ever had - and I have had many. I woke up in her recovery room,

with her holding my hand. When I was nauseated, she used pressure

points to relieve my nausea. I felt she cared about me, and had

never had any surgeon be there to minister to my needs following

surgery.

Perhaps there are other surgeons as caring and skilled as Dr. Feng,

but she was the right Dr. for me and I owe it to her to give her the

praise she deserves.
