The amount has to be over 7.5% of your income in order to claim it on taxes. The first 7.5% percent you basically get to eat it. (Sorry, pardon the pun)

I made my appointment with Dr. Spiegel for next week and they are supposed to call me back with information about my insurance. I have continued to read all the posts and am having some hesitation about Dr. Spiegel. There are some people here who are complaining about him here in Houston. Any thoughts?

If I were you I would do a search on Spiegel's name here on LBT. I have a friend that used him and does not care for his professional ways or value him as a surgeon. He really did a number on her. I would NEVER recommend him to a friend or family or stranger. There are MANY qualified surgeons in the Houston area. Best of luck to finding what is best for you!

Dr. Spivak in Houston, TX is offering self pay for around $12,900 right now- I think it is a New Years price
