Johanna did a great job on deciding how to pick her surgeon.
I would like to add a surgeon's name that many of us on the board have used and been very happy with.
Stephen Annest M.D. and the Vascular Institute of the Rockies was my pick. I pretty much went through the same process as Johanna, with a few different docs and in 2004.
I had a great experience with Dr Annest and his group and I traveled from Calif to Colo.
If you need financial assistance to get to Colo you can go to
www.joniandfriends.org and look up the Christian Fund for the Disabled.
For free flights for medical travel look up Angel Flight. There are several groups that do this. Motels in Denver will give you a discount is you tell them you just got out of the hospital.
