Refund From Garcia.... How Long?



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

I recently decided to switch doctors and talked to Linda about getting a refund for my $500 deposit.

Does anyone know how long it takes to get this back? I sent it via online wire through that one website.

Thanks!

I got my refund within hours (paid with a mastercard). Try talking to Sandy too. I think Linda has been very busy lately.

I had Dr Garcia and was very happy....just curious as to why you switched and which doctor you are going with? I know there are several good doctors in Tijuana

Andy,

I switched because of the facility. My family has a history of heart problems and I just started experiencing heart palpitations. As you know, Dr. Garcia does not work at a full hospital with cardiac arrest equipped ICU. I decided to go to Kelly because the hospital is a little better prepared for that kind of thing. I do very much like Dr. Garcia though!

Just curious, who told you the Mi Doctor does not have an ICU? We were just there a couple of weeks ago and it is a small hospital but they do have an ICU on the 2nd floor. We asked specifically and also asked to see it.

I understand your fears but I too asked about the ICU and Hospital MI does have one. It was located right next to the room that I was in close to the nurses station. I asked to see the room and they opened it and it was completely equiped. I have worked in the medical profession for the past 33 years and I had no fear. Also wondering who told you that they did not have an ICU??

Best of luck with your new doctor and hospital. Which hospital are you going to be at.

I spoke with someone who was just there, they said it had been converted to another patient room. I will now be at florence hospital. Thanks!

Also, just to let everyone know I did get the refund, it has to be done over the phone now which Linda hadn't told me. I had to call Sandy and find out what was going on! It does seem more secure this way!

I am glad you got your refund. I also got mine fairly quickly, it really had the most to do with the fact that you have to talk to Sandy to do it, but she was very accomodating. I was glad it was not a huge hassle to get my funds back.

I am also going to be at florence hospital with Dr.Kelly in March. When is your surgery?

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
