Hi Jenny,
my name is Chris and I had a double mastectomy with surgeon Corinne Ooi. I was given a list from my GP and started to make calls. I think that most doctors on the list were great, the GP did recommend one but it took so long to get in I decided to got to the one that I could see the quickest as I wanted answers and so did my family. If you do see a surgeon privately, please note that you can go to a public hospital even if you have private insurance. I wasn't told about this and went to see a plastic surgeon that worked with my surgeon and the cost out of pocket were so much the sock nearly killed me. Discussion with my Breast Surgeon Corinne lead me to a public Hospital as a private patients and no out of pocket costs. I was treated within weeks even when told it could take longer,and was done by the same two surgeons two weeks earlier. I'm in the south eastern suburbs of Melbourne if I can help plse contact me
