Hello dolls Hoping one of you ladies will be...

Hello dolls
Hoping one of you ladies will be able to answer my question, I emailed Dr. Duran to inquire about sending my pics & getting a quote but when I got a respond it was from Surgi coordinaters stating I had to send $200
For personalized service I've never encountered this being that normally pictures are sent and you're given a quote has this happened to any of you Ladies??
I did find it strange because I have inquired with other doctors and I've sent them my pictures and they given me the quote with everything that's included in the surgery package. I hear nothing but great things about Dr. Duran and I do Admire her work but I did find it kind of awkward money being requested before evaluating pictures or requesting a date for surgery.
Greatly appreciate any feedback I can get from you dolls.

I went through a surgical coordinator. But they emailed me a form that I had to fill out on my phone. It asks medical questions about your health. That form also had a section to upload photos. It tells you what angle to do. Once I emailed it back it took a day or two to get a quote where they explained to extra fee for going through them which is pretty much the only way you'll get an appt with Duran. My appt is on 1/4/17. Originally it was for 4/26/17 but I'm too impatient to wait that long so I practically stalked them for a week to give me a sooner appt. Lol

Wish you the best please keep me posted on your journey
Just don't understand why you have to pay all this money ahead of time none of the other surgeons have requested that

I know. I received a quote from Dr. Robles immediately without a coordinator. Her prices are cheaper. I just didn't know too much about her work cause I didn't have an IG at the time. So I went with Dr. Duran cause she was my first choose and she's amazing. You should look into Robles. I just saw her work on ig and if I would have known I'd probably be going to her. They respond quickly.

laura is a scammer that now works as some sort of booker for duran.. she worked with robles and tried to steal 1000 from me saying my hemo wasnt high enough so i couldnt have some stuff done..then refused to give me my money until I had to get my family in the clinic and refuse to leave..it was atrocious ...duran will lose clients like that ..this girl is a con artist they wll tell you your hemo is too low you cant get this done offer a refund and hope you forget since u will be woozy from surgery recovery... total scam
