Has anyone used Dr. Ponce de Leon directly, with no coordinator?
I am scheduled for a VSG on July 9th, 2016 with Dr. Ponce de Leon and co. I contacted them directly without speaking to their coordinator. Dr. Frayre contacted me directly to set things up. Has anyone else done this before? I am asking, because the whole thing seems a little unorganized to me compared to other people's stories. I did my research on Dr.'s, so I'm not worried about the actual surgery itself, but the coordination has me a little worried. For instance, all I did was text him the day that I wanted to have surgery, and he texted back that it was fine, and then I sent Dr. Frayre my air travel itinerary. He has not sent that much information to me. Should I be worried, or will I actually have a date, driver, hotel, surgery when I get there. He also told me to have my payment, certified check, made out to him, Dr. Frayre, which I think is kind of weird. Can someone please help me clarify?
Thanks,
Mary
