Title: Online consult with Alfaro
Post by: lsubuilder on April 27, 2020, 04:18:04 PM

Has anybody had an online consult with Alfaro? I had one and he recommended Bimax with rotation. Very informative but they never gave me any tracings or idea about how much advancement I need. I was told I that would be determined after scans and molds are taken. 3 days before the surgery. Is this normal for international patient? It’s tough to pull the trigger and pay before I even have a plan

Hi, I had an online consult with Alfaro and decided I wanted to make an in-person appointment to get a detailed plan to review, so you can ask for that.

I had to pay the additional cost of the 3d planning and the costs of flying to Barcelona, but the planning costs are apparently netted off the surgery quote if I decide to proceed.

I spoke with Alfaro and then had a couple of hours of scans and molds. He then emailed me the plan with pictures of the movements and I also requested and received the full set of measurements. We did a couple of iterations of the plan. I found him very personable and the setup very professional.

Hope that helps.

Hi, I have been told the same by Alfaro. All DJS surgeries with him are apparently same price. I think I will do Like Tempus and go ahead to get a full plan.

We don't discuss prices here. You can PM the person and ask.

It seems that pricing is very hectic at Alfaro's office. I had the same experience, was priced significantly higher for the same surgery (the plan, circumstances almost equal) than my friend.

Oh crap I just saw this post after creating my own.

Does anyone know how long the online consult lasts?

I'm hoping I can start treatment without the lengthy visit to Barca. I have my ortho ready to start in London.
