Guest guest Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 Resurfacing in Belgium with Dr. De Smet costs roughly $15,000, including airfare and hotel accomodations, depending on the exchange rate. This is about half the cost in the US. Dr. Amstutz can give you a better idea of the actual cost at the JRI. If you're self-pay, the Belgian option is the way to go. Dr. De Smet is fantastic. rBHR 3/3/04 De Smet Re: new to this etc. > I just had a resurfacing done by Dr. Beaule on 3/5.
