Yes, but that would delay everything. The practice I'm dealing with is the one who has my history, even though the doctor doing the surgery is not the one who I've seen.

Also, the best hospital for this would probably be Einstein, which is also pretty far. Everyone tells me this procedure is almost routine now.

I've been juggling things around to figure out what's best for me, my family, even my employer. Being closer to home adds to my comfort level. The 1 star hospital rating does not.
