Why you might ask? Well there are a couple of reasons.First of all, the end of the year brings the holiday season. Unless you are in retail, this means that you will probably have some extended time off from work, without having to take time off from your vacation or personal time. It does mean that it could put a damper on your holiday plans, though. You might not be able to travel, or you might miss time with your family and friends because you are in the hospital or resting up home. So you need to take that all into account as you decide if this is a good time or not to get that surgery you’ve been needing.
Another reason is that the end of the year usually means the end of your insurance deductibles are coming due. This means that you might have already met your deductibles for the year and before they reset so that you’ll have to pay those pesky deductibles all over again. Now if you haven’t paid on your deductibles early in the year, it doesn’t really matter and you might want to save the surgery for the first of the year so that you pay them early next year, rather then pay them and have them reset in a month.
These two factors are good reasons why it would be good to get that surgery done that you’ve been putting off for some time. If you are in need of foot or ankle surgery, you should contact Upstate Footcare and talk to Dr. Hans Blaakman. Dr. Blaakman is an excellent foot and ankle surgeon and would love to help you get back on your feet, pain free!
