lol well this person has stated prior they cannot afford to travel anywhere and just saved up enough for the bats and dr broom is the ONLY one in southern california that does the scintigraphy so unless she can travel and afford that plus the test I think she is best to do it here to be sure before incurring the costs for surgery that is what my friend did and when she knew it was a shunt then she traveled to tobias because if she travels there and it is not a shunt then that will be a total waste of money. I have heard though from some on my maltese group that dr center and dr tobias sometimes disagree on the surgery aspect so I guess at this point maybe a consult with dr centers would be in order and protein c test is less costly than scintigraphy but money being an issue i would go for the scintigraphy as i do not think the protein c is that accurate and may be a waste of money - does anyone know what dr center's charges for phone consults as sent another person to her and she called her back asap but did not hear what she charged
