Peter 0 Posted March 20, 2011 Hi All, Not sure if I am posting this in the correct spot, but was wondering if anyone had recent thoughts on SWL vs UW in Seattle. I'm paying out of pocket and just want the best surgeon and follow up support etc. Thanks, Peter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dave_NW 92 Posted March 20, 2011 I don't have experience with UW, and my insurance paid for my surgery. But I can tell you Swedish treated me most excellent. I felt totally supported all the way through it, and no question went unanswered. I'd recommend them to anyone who was exploring whether to have surgery. I'm still in the post-op followup stage, and I see them monthly. I'm very satisified. You may want to attend one of their free seminars they hold a few evenings a week. If you opt to have surgery there, you'll need to have attended one of them anyway, before you can schedule an office visit. You can meet Dr. McMahon and several of his staff, as well as get a feel for how they operate. Good luck! Dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
