hello dr. Samuel.....I need to have some lypomas removed but my provider declined my request...I went to see a surgeon and he wants way to much do perform a surgery that will take him 15 minutes...I have a post grad degree and I actually laughed right in front of the Dr. when he told me how much he wanted. I watched a utube video of a man taking one out on his thigh. It took him five minutes and cost him 30 bucks in equipment. Question- why do you guys charge so much for such a simple procedure? 1 lypoma 5 minutes The guy I spoke to wants $100 per minute...Are you laughing also or is that the going rate?
