Thanks to you both! I actually had a consult with Dr Umbach last week. The office was very nice, office as well. Dr Umbach was nice, but he seemed a little aloof to me about my surgery questions. Kind of made me uncomfortable. Did either of you experience that with him? Also, I had already had a psych eval done when I went, but they insisted I had to use theirs. That was no problem for me, but here we are a week later, and nothing has been sent to insurance because they need to wait for the psych evalulation from their office. Little frustrating. I am going to meet with Dr Aktinson too, then make a final decision on who I want to operate on me.
