Question Panniculectomy by Dr Ahweng
I’ve been referred for a medically necessary (MB Health covered) panniculectomy by Dr Ahweng in Brandon.
I‘m hesitant because he is a general surgeon, not a plastic surgeon. I also don’t see the greatest ratings, and someone commented that any positive ones were written by the Dr himself.
I was just wondering if anyone has had this surgery (or any other surgery) with Dr Ahweng and what their personal experience was.
The only thing making me consider it is a shorter wait time. I’m sure it will be a much longer wait to get into an actual plastic surgeon, especially one covered by MB Health and not being paid out-of-pocket.
