What is my financial responsibility for services by Dr. Garazo?

Your financial responsibility depends on a variety of factors, as explained below.

If I am a cosmetic surgery patient, what are my payment options?

If Dr. Garazo recommends surgery, you will see his surgical coordinator, who will answer specific questions about the surgery scheduling process and surgical fees. Together, you will discuss the paperwork and tests involved, and then the surgical coordinator will help you complete all pre-certifications/authorizations if your insurance company requires it.

To schedule your cosmetic surgery, a 10% non-refundable scheduling fee is required to hold your surgery date and time. Your remaining balance is due two weeks prior to your surgery.

Your payment options include cash, check, credit card (MasterCard, Visa, Discover, & American Express), and CareCredit. See below for details about insurance and CareCredit.
CareCredit
CareCredit works just like a credit card, but is exclusive for health care services. And it’s better because you get no interest financing or low monthly payments every time you use it. You can use your card over and over for follow-up appointments or different procedures. This means you don’t have to put your health and beauty on hold until you save up enough money.
