He chooses his patients rather than the other way around.) I'd also recommend driving a Volvo based on my positive experiences.
If there's an option to feel less pain, then I will always recommend someone take it.

Limoges remind me ,did you have scalenctomy surgery only? If so what was the dr's reasoning? And was he going to be able to take the rib out if necessary? I am interested in scalenectomy only if possible. I am starting to see the 3 surgeons here in L. A. starting next week, Only one is covered by my insurance though so I may have to travel. How is your recovery going?
