Personally I would not trust going to Mexico for any surgery. Do your research and doctor shop. Find someone that works for you and fits your personality. Good luck!

phantompouch 19 Posted October 27, 2012 Someone that I know in California suggested a surgeon at a hospital in NYC.....langone NYU ? His name is Dr. Fielding ?? Anyone hear of him ? Since I am looking at doctors only in America.....I am open to finding the best.....will take out a medical loan.... in looking at the Mexico doctors, I was so concerned since I learned of mixed messages and information? And, having such a serious operation in another country is another consideration.....? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phantompouch 19 Posted October 28, 2012 I read a post earlier about a woman who had her surgery schedualed in Mexico...she changed her mind and asked for your money back.....she was given a hard time and the coordinator was mean and nasty....he sent her a 'rubber check;..atleast, she made the right decision.....I suppose the coordinator did not want to lose his commission......I feel that we have to be vigilant and question everything.....`thoughts ?????
