Guest guest Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 Hi Rogene, Most plastic surgeons where I live charge around $50 for a consultation but they do credit it toward surgery if you book with them.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Sandy, I had the same problem. I didn't live in Vegas anymore and wouldn't go back to the ps who left the one capsule in anyway. I got a referral from my PCD (regular doctor). He gave me the refferal to a general vascular surgeon who removes lumps and such and treats cancer patients, she was very familiar with breast surgeries and was not a ps. Try this route. They don't ask for a fee upfront and welfare paid for it. Terri P > > Kendra, > > I have made several phone calls to different > PS offices.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 I can see charging if the patient decides not to use the surgeon - But if the surgeon decided he/she doesn't want to do it, I'd call foul!
