JPouchJoe posted:I am a patient of his from NJ and couldn't be happier to hear of the move. I would make the drive out to Cleveland to see him periodically for about 10 years. I recommend that the local Cleveland folks make the drive to NYC to periodically visit and to maintain a relationship with another local GI. The trip was always well worth it to me since I have a quirky pouch.
The drive is only about 6 hours. Its about 2.5 tanks of gas (round trip) and a hotel room. I would normally leave around 4PM the night before, arrive at the hotel late and go right to sleep. I'd try for a morning appointment and leave the Clinic asap to drive home.
Don't fly...If you fly, you'll need to plan all sorts of extra buffer time so you don't miss a flight and you'll also risk missing an appointment altogether if there is poor weather and flights are cancelled.
Good luck all!
its a 7 hour drive and I don't think my health insurance would cover that unfortunately
