I'm living in the UK and I'm seriously considering a HT. I've done quite a bit of research and thankfully I found this forum. So first of all guys, I'm happy to be here and to learn from you all. I had a consultation with a Ziering group representative who encouraged me to go to Spain for my surgery at a significant saving when compared to UK prices. I then made an appointment to see Dr Collins in Blackrock, only to discover that the consultation was €250. Thankfully, I cancelled the appointment.

My research on this forum leads me to consider Dr Rahal, Dr Feller or Dr Ron Shapiro. I'm very much aware of the importance of going to a great surgeon with an excellent reputation. I'm not on any medication and I never have been, however I am considering it now prior to any surgery.

I'm in my early fifties, Norwood V and as yet I've posted no photos.

I'd welcome any comments or opinions on doctors in the UK or on those I've already mentioned.

I look forward to the long journey ahead and your support.
