Dr. Bertha - Program fee?

Does anybody know if Dr. Bertha charges a program fee?  He is having a seminar on July 12th..  I am going to attend and hope that he doesn't charge a program fee.  Thanks, Jackie

He did not when I went to the seminar and I have not heard that he changed it.  After the seminar you will be able to make your psych, nut and 1st pre-op appointment if you want so if you have a calendar or date book bring that with you.  There is a fee for the psych and nut visits but they are not paid to Dr. Bertha's office.  I have my surgery scheduled for 7/30 and Dr. Bertha's office has not as of yet requested that I pay them anything. 

Dr Bertha does NOT charge a program fee. I just had my initial consult with him after being misled by another surgeon, Best of luck to you.                                                                                                                    Judy

I have had my initial consult with him, had pre-op testing, got a surgery date and approval from the insurance company and Dr. Bertha's office has not requested one penny from me.  To date, I have only paid for the nut and the psych evaluation. Their office also runs support meetings which are free of charge. I have been very impressed with Dr. Bertha and his staff. 

I had my surgery 11/28/05 with Dr pupkova when she was with bertha practice and never paid a fee exept for physc & nut best of luck
