Atlanta / Houston for Medical Travel

[Courage]

Anyhow, it's coming down in my head to Clavell or Hakky. Saw both. Liked both. Just depends on which concerns I'll put a bit higher.

Anyone who traveled to one of these cities have any advice about where to stay and, if I can't find a friend to go with me, getting post-op transport and care for whatever brief time I'd need it? Do their offices help with this stuff?

Thanks in advance.

I also consulted with Clavell and Hakky, I'm scheduled with Hakky in October -- I'm close to Atlanta so that made the choice easier (both surgeons are great).

The area of Atlanta where Hakky's practice is located is called Buckhead, but he does surgeries at Northside hospital in Lawrenceville, which is probably 25+ miles north of there. Ask their office if it would be better to get a room near the hospital or near their office. Buckhead's a pretty high-end area so rooms there might be pricey. If his office can't help with transport then getting a taxi or Uber should be easy at either location. A better solution is to have somebody there with you, rent a car, and let them drive you around for a few days.

I traveled from Wisconsin to Houston for my surgery with Dr. Clavell. It was a long haul but well worth it. I went online and booked an Airbnb close to the hospital. You'll want to get there couple of days early as your surgeon will call in medication that you will need to take prior and after surgery. Dr. Clavell wanted me to stay a couple days after surgery just to make sure all was well before the long journey home.
