If did LL, what are good ways to find an ortho doc to see after in home country?

Edit Post

Gonna do LL in Greece and stay for 3 months. Then, I'm coming back home to USA after it is all done.

I saw an orthopedic doctor in USA and asked him if I could see him after doing LL. He said no, he will not help because he doesn't like cosmetic LL. I paid for the visit to see him and couldn't figure out how to message him specifically before the visit.

How do I find out if a doctor is willing to take a former LL patient without having to do a first meeting? Ex: trying to avoid another situation where I pay for a first meeting and just to hear a 'nope, I'm not helping' -> such an answer, I'm trying to find out over the phone before paying to see a new doctor

Is there some way to find out beforehand to weed out some doctors and be able to just see the ones who are open to this? Alot of the times the offices won't let you talk to a doctor directly for new patients

ty!! So if I get a referral, then the doctor has to help?
