Rhinoplasty - FL vs. OR

After a horrible consultation/blood draw experience in Florida, I moved to Oregon & decided to wait to revisit my decision with (what I was expecting to be) better care. I had my consultation last week & could not be happier that I decided to wait. The cost has doubled but the comfort I felt with dr makes it worth it. My FL dr didn't do any of the things this one did & ive never felt so comfortable with any medical physician so I'm definitely going to proceed with the surgery here. Just waiting to close on my house in FL so I can pay this thing off & get it over with. The procedure will take place in a hospital so that makes me feel more secure as well. Excited & terrified, just anxious for the house to close this week.

I almost went through with a procedure in Boca Raton, FL but had a horrible pre-op experience so decided to take the hit on the deposit and bailed right before the surgery. After having had such a negative experience in FL, I was hopeful Oregon would have a much more positive experience, I decided to wait and find a new Dr once I moved over. I met with an impressive Dr at the OHSU facility, but between the expensive price tag and more importantly the lack of availability in the near future, I shopped around some more. Consultations are difficult because you have to discuss your insecurities to a bunch of people who add to the list, so I was definitely eager to find someone else I was comfortable with. I've found and decided on this Dr in Lake Oswego. Everything is a go so I just have to finish getting my supplies and prescriptions and wait until the procedure. This is the first dr who doesn't do general anesthesia so I have some additional anxiety though the recovery benefits make it seem worthwhile. I'm just ready to go through with this so I'm trying not to fixate on the details and stress. I will say that a lot of my resources have come from researching online and through real self, but one thing I haven't read that I suggest is that I found a free app for taking the medicine. I'm certain I won't be lucid for awhile and I have a horrible memory anyways so I'm sure it will come in handy.

Dr. Petroff's office highly suggests this $110 vitamin type regimen before & after surgery. I'm usually skeptical of this stuff but figured the extra vitamins could only benefit so I'll start taking them tomorrow. Since there's 4 different things to deal with, plus the antibiotics & other meds, I downloaded the medicine app called 'Medisafe' to alert me when to take everything since I'm bad at tracking that & will be worse when I'm out of sorts from the procedure. Not sure if these vitamins will help or not & won't really have a comparison to confirm, but just pointing out that this Dr suggests them
