how long did it take to get your first appointment with Eid?
So, you had first visit in June, and having implant the following month?
I need to look at my work schedule. I will need a Monday, or Friday appointment (traveling).
My 1st appointment was near the 1st of June and was actually a video conference that cost me $300 not covered by insurance but it costs me that much to drive to NYC with mileage, parking, and tolls. I think I had that video conference about a week after my first phone call. I had the required other two visits in July and surgery scheduled for August 7th. I might have been able to speed that up some but I was out of state the entire month of June.
If you are a Medicare patient there has to be at least a 3 day waiting period between your last appointment and surgery otherwise they can schedule surgery the next morning and save you another trip. I think Dr. Eid only sees patients on Tuesdays and Thursdays in the office and is in surgery the other three days.
