Can I get my $500 down payment back from my Breast argumentation surgery?

August 4, 2016
Asked By:mombie85 in Chicago, IL

I had a consultation with a surgeon that I liked in person and excitedly gave them $500 for a down payment, to lock in the price. It was 12 months in advance and is currently still 6 months away but I'm having second thoughts and really like a different surgeon. Is it terrible to ask for my money back? I figure it's far enough in advance where it wouldn't effect filling in the slot with another patient. Could I get my money back? Should I try? What's the etiquette here?
