***TGIF Roll Call***
Good Morning Everyone,
I am up early in spite of having gotten to bed late last night. I was at the Phillies game and saw the win and the fireworks afterward. Awesome time.
Today has me heading to the bank, some shopping and then on the train to New York where my son and I will be jumping in his car to head to Cooperstown for the weekend. We are heading to the Baseball Hall of Fame.
I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend.
Huggles,
Trish

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.

Hi everyone,
I am new to OH. Sorry I don't have a pic on yet. I have'nt been able to uplad any photos yet because they are larger than 20k. (Help!!)
I am from Pittsburgh, PA (home of the Champion Steelers and Penquins).
Would like to get some feedback on how you all selected your surgeon. I have an appointment at the end of this month with one that has all good feedback, but I am seeing alot more feedback and recent surgeries drom a different office. The location of the latter is a lot closer..........
I appreciate any advise..
TGIF!!!
Have a good Friday and a nice weekend.

Welcome! (even though you are a steelers fan! ) LOL.
I don't have any suggestions, as I live hours from you. But I would go out on a limb and say that both are great places if you have heard feedback about both. I would say it's important to feel comfortable with the doc, staff, and facility. You will need to rely on them to anser questions and care for you so make sure your "gut" feeling is a good one.

When life hands you lemons, ask for tequila & salt and give me a call!

I honestly just went with someone who a coworker used. I didn't really do a lot of research because she had worked for him before. I trusted him because she did.
There are a bunch of people on here from your part of PA, so I'm sure someone will be able to help you. I would stay closer if you can, so there is no excuse for missing appointments. And also, so you can get there quick in a potential emergency.

Welcome!
As far as picking a surgeon...I did a lot of research on the facilities in my area....and then ended up traveling to one about 1 1/2 hours away from me because I liked their statistics, follow up care, etc. Once I met with the doctor, I KNEW she was what I wanted.
the avatar - you can also go to www.photobucket.com and upload your photo there. Then, you can resize it to "avatar" size which will put it in a size format OH will let you use.

Instead of complaining that the rosebush has thorns, be happy that the thorn bush has roses. 

Have a great trip Trish!
