As of Monday Dr. Connell was still taking new patients. I made an appointment for myself on Monday. She was telling me what insurance company was easy to work with for their office.

Getting it approved through your insurance is not the challenge you all are facing, it's finding a surgeon that will take your insurance. We keep batting away and there are successes, it just takes some time. Hang in there
