Harrison,
I should have said "many" instead of any....
However, I saw several doctors for consultations here in the USA and everyone of them charged me a fee for that consultation.
Regarding Dr. Clavel and post-op follow up. As a general rule, the response has been timely. The one time that we had an issue and needed immediate response and answers, he responded very quickly allowing for time differences. For general questions post-op it took longer for him to respond. But again, when it was a pressing issue, one of possible medical concern, his response time was very reasonable in my humble opinion.

This is definitely not true, happy to say. Many docs will not charge. Perhaps many do, or most due, but there are dozens that do not. Maybe more.[/QUOTE]
