2nd Thoughts

Last night I was speaking with my mom about my surgery and showing her different blogs and pictures on brachymetatarsia. She is very excited for the decision I have made and plans to get the surgery in the future after she sees the result of mine. While talking, I told her the doctor who will be performing my surgery explained what will be going on but he wasn't very personable in my opinion. She suggested that I try another doctor because I would want to be at ease. After she said that I checked the reviews for this particular doctor and other patients agreed that he wasn't very personable. Strictly business and move on to the next. I'm not saying I need a doctor to sit around and lollygag with me but a nice personality would be a little more comforting I think. I was so excited to finally seek help for my toe that I didn't even think about this. I'm slightly confused right now. Don't know if I should chop this up as no big deal or if I should make this a big DEAL.... I am really deep in thought right now!!

    Hi! I just wanted to say that I completely agree that you should look for a doctor that you feel 100% comfortable with. I'm four weeks into my surgery and am very fortunate to have not only an awesome doc but his staff is as warm and understanding as they come :) Where are you located? Have you found another Dr.?

    Hello.. Thanks for the feedback. Well since I made this post I scheduled another visit with my current doctor and I felt an entirely different vibe this time. From the beginning I have always felt highly about his staff. So now I'm just waiting, my surgery is scheduled for Thursday and I am full of nervous energy. This all still feels so surreal. I'm just praying that all goes as well.

    Hi!
    Just wanted to say good luck. There are more and more of us out here with blogs now, and if you need to talk, just send a message. I know exactly how you are feeling right now, it is nerve wracking, but I'm sure all will be just fine. Keep us posted on how things go!
