Rural surgeon vs city surgeon
Hi ,Newly diaganosis Friday the 13th DCIS, very scared and anxious, what’s people’s thoughts on surgeons in rural areas or should I go to Sydney , from western NSW
@Rachelvill
Using a local surgeon in regional areas for some surgeries makes perfect sense but, from someone who had to travel for the surgery I wanted, they do not always have the facilities to offer you the full range of options.
If you think you will want/need any reconstructive surgery it is wise to interview practitioners who can provide those services. It's a pain in the butt, however these are things that need to be considered.
