I believe you can also contact thru AIMIS. An advantage to going thru AIMIS is that all doctors that are members will follow up for one another. There are a few in NY so a follow-up doc may not be that far away.

AIMIS will only send the films to the doctors that will be doing your surgery. They are booked up through September with surgeons who are NOT Dr. Pimenta, so if you want to wait that long you could try that route, but if you want Dr. Pimenta to see your films in a timely manner, I would go through his office.

I spent months waiting and he never reviewed them.
