The fee this time is $200. But he also refers me to Amar Ranawat, MD who is affiliated with the Hospital for Special Surgery. "I don't know anything about Dr. Kassipidis but if you've got a heart problem, you'd want to go to the Cleveland Clinic wouldn't you?" Fortunately, Dr. Ranawat sees GHI patients one day a week at Lenox Hill Hospital. I waste no time making an appointment.
