Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
We are going to winter in Phoenix area. Does anyone have any experience or recommendation for a very good orthopedic doctor/surgeon? It’s an ankle bone issue-probably bone spur or something. Thanks.
Some have reported having good success with Mexican Doctors accross the border. I've never done it, but many on this board have, possibly some will chime in if you are up for it. I understand the bills are about 1/2 but not sure if Insurance will pay. As I said, others have tried it and been down that path and can offer advice.

Thanks, RonC. Hadn't thought about that. I will say, so as not to waste any member's time, that I really would not want to go that route. I'm on Medicare anyway so no problem. I would prefer to find someone in Phoenix area.
Just a thought. If I needed ortho surgery, I would look for the hospital next to the ski resort....perhaps Utah or Colorado might be in your best interests?

Oh, obviously one isn't 'old' yet. Orthopedics are big business in areas with high retiree residents. Think of all of our old joints that are slowly wearing away and huge growth in replacement parts.
Where are you going to be in the valley? Check out and see what the big hospitals are in the area you will be, then call them and ask for orthopedic referrals and do some investigating.
