Look at the big cardiac hospitals, depending on location.  I'm in Tennessee, good places would be Vanderbilt University Hospital in Nashville or University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB).  Most large cities are a good source...New York, Chicago, L.A., Dallas just to name a few.  Sorry I can't be more help, giving you what I know.

Lap Band Surgery is very cheap in India-almost 1/3rd the price of america.There is one company that is very famous in India that arranges obesity surgery for foreigners in India.They are called the Forerunners Healthcare.I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories.I have also read that they arrange financing for american and canadian patients as obesity surgery is not covered by insurance.They also have photos pasted of their International patients.You can checkout their website.The cost savings are incredible.As a doctor i personally believe that your obesity surgery can be easily handled in India as the quality of healthcare available here is simply best in the world.The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.

I agree with the other writer.  Most larger cities have the best cardiothoracic surgeons, especially on the pediatric level.  You should first start by looking at what type of condition the patient has and then looking for surgeons that are well known for fixing that problem.  Some surgeons have seen the rare afflictions more than others and depending on what the condition is, you might only have a few surgeons in your state that can do that type of surgery.  I live in Tennessee and work in the cardiology field at one of the hospitals there, and we send all of our serious pediatric cardiology patients to Vanderbilt University Hospital in Nashville, TN.  Others are Duke in North Carolina, University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), and the University of Tennessee Medical Center in Memphis.  This may not be in your area, but these are just a few in the South that I would recommend starting with.  If you have any more questions, just post them

Dr. Furlong in San Jose is the absolute best!!!! I went there three months ago with -9.75 in my left and -8.75 in my right and now I have 20/20. No kidding!!! He is the best!!!!! I have no complications, no hazing, no scarring, just perfect vision! It wasnt cheap though. I had no insurance and it cost me 5000 for both eyes. but they do offer a payment program.

First I would ask for an echocardiogram with & without saline (water bubbles); this will show any & hopefully all holes in your heart. I had it done & they found I was missing a chamber and had holes on the opposite side of my heart which required them to "cath" my heart. They make a small slice in the groin area & go through a main artery in your leg up to your heart. I'm only 5' & 100 lbs & they couldn't knock me out with morphine (I watched the entire procedure & ticked off my cardiologist -lol). My personal opinion would be 1. ask questions, make a list if you have to, 2. check out the surgeons & their history, & 3. if they are as good as they check out to be the procedure will be a cakewalk for you. I was 38 when they found all of this & now I'm 43 and alive to see my baby (23) get married this coming August to a wonderful young lady. My Dad had 2 triple arterial bypasses & he lost a leg in Korea and God bless him, he'll be 79 this July. Yes, I had a good role model but it is normal to get upset when a Dr mentions a prob w/the heart & that you have to face surgery. I now know how a lobster feels having its chest cracked but thorasic & cardiac surgery is so advanced that I can promise you that you'll be fine. Try to keep a positive attitude and have faith; they told me after 3 days that if I could walk up & down a flight of stairs 4 times, I could go home..........I bolted & got my boney butt outta that hospital & back into my own home in no time. My thoughts & prayers are with you (Navy brat here) but above all : keep the faith.\nBeth

Without a doubt, Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia.\n\nhttp://www.chop.edu/consumer/jsp/division/service.jsp?id=27699\n\nWhen you click on "Meet the Team," it says, "Adult Care Team," but this is really the staff of the pediatric CF center.  The adult center is next door at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.\n\nChild Magazine and US News and World Report have ranked CHOP as #1 in the nation for 3 and 4 years now.\n\nSeveral of their pulmonologists have been rated "Top Doc's" in Philadelphia Magazine.
