Dr. Sergio Verboonen in Tijuana,Mexico

[GeezerSue 7]

No apology necessary, Leo. I often "say" things the wrong way...when I didn't mean to do so.

And we all have different "comfort levels" with what other humans do. My next door neighbor (who had had a stroke) had a home health aide, who--within a week--was trying to underbid the company she was working for to get the job on an "under the table" basis, even though she had signed a contract saying she wouldn't do that. On my advice, the neighbor let the worker go and let the employer know what was going on. It's hard for me to accept that the woman who was trying to cheat her current employer wouldn't eventually try to cheat her next one. (And, no, I'm not a goody-two-shoes.) Yet, the neighbor on the other side was saying, "Everybody does that. They just want to make a buck. The agency underpays them, and deserves it." She thought I was unreasonable.

So...knowing what I know about several various doctors, I would still choose verboonen over several others to do my surgery. But I have a couple I'd choose before him, too. Kinda like, "which is 'better,' butter-pecan or caramel-praline, cherry garcia or chunky monkey?"

:ermm I apologize to ANYONE I offended with my comments on this or any other doctor. And really, really, I'm not recruiting for any doctor...although, like many others, I'm very happy with MY surgeon.
