i am not sure how to edit my post, so ill just add this in a reply...

one of my concerns is finding a legitimate doctor who is not going to just take my money and leave me with a useless piece of paper. i was browsing the forums and found an article stating that around 2000 patients were recently denied treatment because of some issue with their doctors not being properly licensed (or something to that effect).

i just want to be sure i am not going to get conned out of my money.
