I hope people don't mind me jumping onto the back of this thread! I am looking at getting DES and got a quote from two doctors, Dr Chris Ahn and Dr Steven Liew. At Dr Ahn's I was quoted $4k, and at Dr Liew I was quoted $8k.
From my research DES typically ranges from $4-$5k, is there a reason why a surgeon would quote so much? Are they better? I don't mind paying extra if it's a guaranteed success, but if the result will be the same then of course I'd go for the doctor that charges less. I got a good vibe from both the doctors. More so from Dr Ahn but that might be because his price was a bit more affordable for me!
