I just found out that Dr. Sluzky is in Israel and wanted to let everyone here know. I missed a consult with her because I thought she was on Armenia time and she only told me about the move after.. Still don't know which city or if her prices have changed but will update when I find out more. She is very difficult to communicate with... Like 0/10 for communication...
Yeah I noticed the same she’s very slow at responding to emails as well 😔
Still her good prices and skill make me want to try but it’s a bit of a red flag. She should get a secretary or assistant if she can’t keep it up herself
I'm also pursuing it for her skill and prices but close to giving up and going with one of the other surgeons. I'm just happy the CT scan ended up being free so that's not a sunk cost I need to worry about.
When she tried scheduling an appointment with me, she gave me two times. I suggested a third but said if it didn't work I would take the first. She never responded so I assumed it was the one she suggested. Had to wake up in the middle of the night for it. Turned out she chose the other time. And then didn't tell me she was in Israel's time zone anyway.
Sorry needed to rant a bit lol So yeah, agree that she should definitely get an assistant
No need to apologize I get the frustration.
How did you get the ct scan?
I told my local doctor about it and she said it won't be covered because FFS is not covered here but suggested that if I could come up with a "medical" reason for it, that it may be coverable. I ended up getting her to say that I need a rhinoseptoplasty to fix breathing issues from a deviated septum and she added all the other bones to the req form as well.
She told me I would probably still need to pay for it (since it wasn't just the nose) and even checked the private payer box but I guess the CT techs are so used to everything being covered that they didn't notice the box. lol So I was just lucky and haven't gotten a bill. But trying something similar might be worth a shot!
I’ll do my best but doubtful it will work since it’s less about meeting to pay or not here and more like I can’t get it unless I get a doctor to ask for it. I can get it privately tho but those are never paid for even if needed
Your doctor should just have to fill out a standard req form. That's what mine did. Same thing they would do if you were getting sent for an X-ray.
Just wanted to make sure u/HiddenStill sees this for the wiki. I think this is how you tag someone?
Thanks, it will be in the next update.
