I have a consultation with Dr. Peter Raphael next week. I'm so happy that I can't even begin to describe this happiness to you.

Hey Kent-- Why are you choosing Dr. Raphael? and have you had any other consultations with other MDs?

Thanks in advance.

For some reason I am blanking on the name of that website that used to be transster. There you can see pictures of top surgeries from different docs.

Could you afford to have a consult with both of them? Travel and lodging costs may also play into it for you, assuming the top surgeries are around the same price.

Most consults are free these days, or seems to be. Yeah travel to Florida is a bit further for me, but I am not concerned about this to much, I am more concerned on the quality of results.

I was in Denver, CO at the time. So I did phone screens. I would say list out every single question you can think of; no matter how silly or lame you may feel they are. And then ask each one those questions. Then choose from there. In other words, do your homework and interview them.

Hope that helps.

I have been asking -- and asking, just really can't make up my mind. So I was asking others for their ops. Thanks for your words, much appreciated.
