Well I would hope so, I wouldn't want it to be boring!
If you have any questions about something I didn't cover, don't hesitate to ask.

What do you even mean with that? And yes it will be a good diary to see because its rare to see a mahboubian diary in the forum As well as having information on his price. I'll have to investigate when I have time to see how much I could save with insurance if it's a good amount like RozBurch then I'll be sprinting over from SF to LA.

If you're in SF then I'd definitely recommend going with Dr. M for sure. Definitely do a price comparison though, and also keep in mind that NY has a higher cost of living than LA. You'll need to stay in whatever city you choose for at least 2 weeks, if not longer.
Two weeks is nothing and yeah La is definetly cheaper. Its alot more expensive in nothern california/ Sf in particular. I wonder how Id go about getting the insurance information and a estimate of how much I could save. Does mahbounian have a list of insurances he accepts?

I would just call his office and ask. I'm not sure if he has a list specifically, but he does have some sort of system because I asked him about my insurance and was told that the one I had wouldn't cover anything.
Just to let you guys know with Dr Rozbruch, insurance is hit or miss according to what the billing department told me.
In fact, the lady I talked to said that sometimes it even depends on the person thats handling your case. Some representatives are anal about the rules, whereas others are more lenient.
Hence, this is why sometimes hospital fees are covered because some representatives will consider it 'non cosmetic' whereas sometimes they wont be covered because the representative will consider the whole thing 'cosmetic' .
The unfortunate thing about all this according to the billing department is that there is no way of knowing beforehand whether your insurance will cover the procedure or not. This didnt make sense to me but thats what I was told. So in essence you have to go in there with atleast 130k from the estimates I was given.
HOWEVER, I was told something very interesting.
If the Dr finds some defect in your legs, he can get insurance to cover the procedure.
Here's the kicker:
Almost everyone has some defect in their legs according to the nurse that I talked to.

Highly doubt most people get their insurance to cover this procedure 'cuz of some defect. This is the type of anecdote that happens to "everyone" except for yourself.

Wonder if a defect could be any minor thing as a chiropractor told me that my left leg was 2mm shorter than the right. I guess 6 feet soon was in luck not to get noisy representative.

2mm is considered no difference.
More than 90% of people have a difference of up to 0.5cm between their legs.
Also, so minor differences can't be measured from a chiropracton or anyone else.
Only x rays or ct scan could measure the exact length of the foot so you can find tiny differences like this.
And no, it is not true that most people have issues with their legs that an insurance covers.
A 10% of population at max would have such problems and I believe even that is too much.
