    Dr. Arguello

    posted by  Mona Chromatica in Costa Rica forum 

    I consulted with Dr. Arguello. I did not choose him because he would not do multiple procedures. Why? Because he lost a patient, at his own admission, and that was devastating to him, as you might imagine. I deeply respect him for his honesty and his unwillingness to risk my life.

    After my consultation, I was waiting for a ride, and was hanging out in the lobby where food was available. Since I had just flown in, I had not yet gotten any C.R. $$. He bought me lunch.

    I never heard of the other surgeon. I have heard lots of good things about Dr. Alexandro Lev....an artist, and works out of Villa Plentitude. I also feel that Dr. Alfaro Davilia is a very good option....very experienced....Denver, burn unit in C.R., Board Certified (check it out via the Boards website...make sure they are listed!!), etc. He also had a very large "book" of pictures of his previous clients

    Do visit more than one or two doctors. Don't let the $$ be the final decision maker. Trust your intuition. Don't let anyone rush you into a decision. . I let $$ & my desire for multiple proceedures influence me. I was lucky. Many others are not.
