I called them today left a message. I am hoping I get a response quick. If you've been there pls answer these questions for me:
Are they the only doctors that perform the CO2 laser surgery? I called a few surgeons in my area and when I asked them about it, they seem dumb-founded and said we "only remove the infected area and graft it" and that is not what I am looking for. I'd like to get it burned off inside.
I would need to travel there since I am in Connecticut, do they accept insurance? How about state insurance? If not, how much did yours cost?
Did they perform the surgery the day after consultation? And how long did you have to stay in hospital before being sent home?
Has your HS returned? How long did it take for your area to heal completely? Were you able to move/work a week later after surgery? or were you bed-bound?
Are they real or a scam? Just curious.
Thank you so much. I know I should direct these questions to them but I called after hours and left a message, but hopefully I get a return call asap! Thanks!

Thank you so much for your thorough reply. I can't afford that either so I will not be going there any time soon. I need both armpit done so that would cost way too much. And you're right, one would have to count cost of flying there, getting a hotel on top of that high up front cost. Ok, so I'm going to need to look elsewhere. I just viewed their youtube page, and I wish I was that guy laying there lol. I want this off so much..,I'll keep looking for something local I guess. Thanks a bunch!
