I have planned to go to this clinic, and I had written off some of the bad reviews, since I could not find any legal proceedings or criminal records. However, sometimes it is more about what we don't see.
All communication has been via email and I plan to fly to Denver.
I started looking at their website for information to provide to my primary care physician so that we don't overlook potential medication interactions. While looking, I noticed that there is not a medical doctor credited, yet a surgeon is profiled prominently as a "Gold Standard" level provider.
When asked, via email, the response was to direct me to the page about the surgeon, identified as the Medical Director,
And now, I have run across this thread. So I have pressed further, with an email to the clinic, asking the name of the licensed medical doctor. I am giving them the benefit of the doubt, but I have started entertaining the idea that possibly, Medical Director, or "MD" is a slight of hand. That would be unfortunate. An M.D is not the same as an MD is not the same as a D. Med. And, I am pretty sure an M.D. is not a doctor at all, so if the surgeon is credentialed as an M.D. that is most likely legal, but shady as hell.
Even though the price is great, it is not about the money when it comes to vanity and self-confidence.
I had an FUT procedure about 12 years ago, and I could not have been happier. The surgeon was a licensed medical doctor. Now I am old enough to benefit from a second and final FUT, and unfortunately doctor is retired.
Thank you for this thread. You quite possibly saved me a great deal of embarrassment, time, and money.
I will let you know how the clinic responds to my request for the credentials of the surgeon.
