Calling all Coates/Coirin Patients
It depends on your insurance or selfpay. Both doctors will move it along ok (probably better than most). Memorial is good and has had their program up and running for many years. I would feel comfortable with either Coates or Coirin cutting me. Over the years I have gone to Memorial's support group and have heard both speak at least 3-4 times. Both offices are very busy, so you'll see a lot of the PAs (Diane I think). We want our hand holding with the surgeon...but really if they are good surgeons...Let them do the surgery and the few days of followup...Then hand you over to the PA who will let the surgeon know if it looks like there is something wrong. I too had a heart attack...Had to get a clearance from the heart doctor also. Just jump through the hoops and your date will come up quickly. Brian
