Guest guest Posted May 14, 2001 Report Share Posted May 14, 2001 All the doctors in lower Michigan charge a program fee but Dr Scholten. Dr Scholten is scheduling appts like for Sept or later. He is now into 2002 in scheduling surgeries. Dr MacPherson was the first of the 3 other doctors to lose his hospital privledges. I do not know if he has found a new hospital or not. Dr L also charges the same $4500 fee.
