Dr. P. Hornbostel's Seminar 5/1/07

Beverly, I will tell you, I live in KC North, Mo. and my sister in Bonner Springs, Ks. We were going to go to Shawnee Med. but they were waiting for their Center of Excellence at that time. So we went to Sedalia, 1 1/2 hr drive to the seminar. We both and our hubbies were so impressed and comfortable with Dr. H that we jumped on board. We had appt.'s made to Shawnee and on a waiting list in case they got certified. Came home from seminar and called and cancelled with Shawnee. Long story short, they finally got certified but we were so sold on Hornbostel that we didn't mind the travel. We are 9 days post op and came through with flying colors and are thrilled with him and the team! I am sure your chosen surgeon is as good but we on the board can't help but be partial. Even if you stay with your Dr. Keep coming back and become part of the family. ok? Charlotte

I have been told his seminar is the first Tues. of the month does anyone have a phone # or website of his that I can go to? I would like to go to the seminar I just want to keep my options open. I know Shawnee Mission is good and close to my house but if my insurance will pay for me to go else where at least I might have more options open to me? Bev~

Dear Bev: This is Dr. Hornbostel. Dr. Hoehn (and Hitch****) are excellent surgeons as well, with an excellent reputation. Not a right or wrong choice here, in my humble opinion. Best wishes with whatever you decide. Sincerely, PMH
