CMC?

I've been reading around and it doesn't seem that Dr. Dyer or Dr. Olsen do a whole lot of DS.  (They are the surgeons that will work my insurance).  I see that they do a lot of RYN which I do not want.  It's DS or nothing.  I've been over at the DS board and researching it like crazy but I am afraid I will be strong armed into RYN. 

Thanks for any info you have!!

I had Dr Dyer as my surgeon.  I'm not to sure if he does the DS or not.  Hopefully Pam (the program director) will be on shortly to answer your querstion.

I really don't think any here at the TN Forum will try to strong arm you into anything you don't want.  Nor do I think the staff at Centeniall will do that either!

This is a decision that only you can make.  So I say, stick to your guns, and make the decision that best suits your needs!

Good luck and ask any question you want!

Have a good day!

Thanks!

I've just been looking and looking and it seems most of the patient's of Dyer and Olsen are bypass patient's.  I am hoping they will do the DS because I really want all or nothing.

Have you tried Baptisit?  I know some of their Docs are doing the DS. 

I just went to CMCWLS website, and they do advertizse that the DS is one of the surgical procedures that they offer.  So, you might be able to have your surgery at Centeniall!

At present, Dr. Dyer has elected not to perform the DS. Both Dr. Olsen and Dr. Houston do perform the DS. We would love to have you join us at a seminar. Our next one is Tuesday night at 6:00 p.m. and Dr. Olsen is the presenter. You can register for this seminar or others via this link www.cmcwls.com/default/seminar-schedule.

Thank you,
