I found a new Botox ophthamologist in a new country, but he wants $800 cash and I am new here and I have not met anyone who has had Botox from him.
I loved my Botox doc in NYC. He always took my card, always said if I had any problem, I could come back...it only happened once. The result was obvious in a day or 2 and lasted 6+ months.
I went for several years, beginning in my late 40's. I went to a cheap Botox place first and got no results at all. I went back and they gave me a lot of excuses, so I almost gave up. But then, I got very lucky. I paid twice as much when I went to an ophthalmologist and I've looked beautiful ever since. Until I moved to San Juan.
Now I am afraid of this new Doc. He has diplomas all around the room, and he says he went to/graduated from the Mayo clinic. I haven't had it yet. I'm scheduled for tomorrow, but unless he guarantees in writing that he will redo it to my satisfaction free of charge, I don't think I should give him $800.00 cash.
Is this normal? Should I trust my new doc?
Answer: Prepay for Botox Hi Kathleen, It sounds a little bit fishy to have to prepay that amount of money for Botox. It's reasonable when starting with a new physician to ask what happens if you are not satisfied with the procedure. If it feels too soon for you to be comfortable, then maybe it is. Ask around a bit more and see if you might be able to find a physician based on word of mouth from friends and family. Good luck.

Answer: No hurry for Botox If you have any doubts about the doctor that do not rush into having the injections. Go in for the consultation and then see how you feel.

Answer: The price is about right for better quality treatment Dear Kathleen, A board certified general ophthalmologist can do a fine job of treatment with BOTOX. However, I would be more comfortable recommending a board certified general ophthalmologist who is also fellowship trained in oculoplastic surgery and is an elected member of the American Society for Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. There are 2 such individuals with these credentials in Puerto Rico: Noel Perez, M.D. - He trained at the University of Cenetral Caribe and did his ophthalmology residency at the University of Puerto Rico. Following this he did and ocular oncology fellowship with Jerry Shield at the Wills Eye Hospital in Philadelphia, and a two year oculoplastic surgery fellowship with Gerry Harris at the Medical College of Wisconsin Eye Institute in Milwaukee. His office is located in Guaynabo. Joseph Campbell, M.D. - He obtained his medical degree at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. He did his ophthalmology training at the Washington Hospital Center. He then went on to do a two year oculoplastic surgery fellowship at the New York Eye & Ear Infirmary. He has a teaching appointment at the University of Puerto Rico. His office is located in Guaynabo. Both of these individuals have great credentials. I would recommend that you contact their offices and see who seems to be the best match for you.

Answer: Finding a New Botox Doctor Kathleen I think that a doctor's credentials are one factor. I would also check with the doctor's other patients and check the internet for doctors in your area. I think that Board Certification is also very important. Check with the American Board of Medical Specialties at www.abms.com to find out if your doctor is really certified.
