Many of you know that I am a self pay patient. Unfortunately today I found out that my doctor of choice does not accept my method of payment. I am devastated. I don't know what to do at this point, but I think I will figure it. I do have another seminar today and maybe that is my answer. I am so upset...

I'm so sorry! That's terrible. I will be a self pay too. It's a bad blow but don't give up!!! Something good will happen :) maybe you can start searching for another physician who may accept your payment method. I found my potential doctor on healthgrades!

I wish you you the best!

I'm so sorry to hear that! I am a self pay patient too and I would be devastated if my doctor didn't accept my payment... keep your chin up. there are several good doctors out there and there is a perfect match for you just waiting for you to call them.

WOW! What a disappointment!

However, I truly believe things work out a certain way for a reason so move on to a doctor who will accept a self-pay. Just a bump in the road so to speak!

Good luck!

That's so frustrating, more so as a self pay! Just try and stay positive, you will find a good surgeon I just know it. Update us when you find out something.

Update...went to another seminar today and liked this surgeon even better than the last! He operates out of an older hospital in a not-so-noce area of town but it is a Center of Excellence so I don't think the age nor location really bothers me.

SoSo excited to have made my decision and to have found my surgeon. Everything will get rolling on Monday and have a Pre op class on Tuesday. Consult with surgeon sometime after that to schedule October surgery!!
