None that I've seen referred to.....

Your choices are Michigan, Georgia or Florida. Dr.'s in Georgia and Florida require letters, it's an inpatient procedure with them and so it costs about 2 1/2 times as much.

Dr in Georgia does not require letters. Drs in GA and FL do castrations as outpatient surgery, one in hospital and one in his own surgical suite.

what is the recovery time after this surgery?

Is there anything the patient has to do after the surgery is done? Like would the patient have to visit the doctor a couple of more times to make sure the surgery went right?

I was out trimming hedges less than a week later. Stitches started coming out after two weeks. Cord ends still tender after a month, but they were pulled very taut before cutting and were the last remaining swelling to go away.

One follow up a day or so later to make sure all is OK (no bleeding for instance) should do it. You would want to have the Dr's phone number with you and want to stay in the area for a day or so also.

Dr. Arnkoff wants you to confirm the appointment three days in advance, get into town the night before, contact him when you're there and stay in town until at least the day after the surgery.

Everyone is different and I experienced more swelling and discomfort than I expected. Dr. Arnkoff says the area should be packed with ice for the first 24 to 48 hours, after that it is not effective. I spent about 11 hours

after checking out of the hotel, I'd done the ice packs that morning. Whether or not the whole extra day of ice packs would have helped is something I can only speculate on, but it might be worth considering staying the extra day since it doesn't really add much to the total price of the procedure and travel expenses.

I sent an inquiry to his website and have not got a reply. I have tried his phone number and only get the answering machine. How hard is he to consult with?

They are going through with some changes in his office. So it might take just a little longer than usual.
