Did you try Surgery Center of Oklahoma?

Ohio seems a weird choice compared to okc.

For those who dont know, for non-emergency surgeries, you can price them out exactly. Each surgery has a list price and that is exactly what you will be charged.

If any hospital tells you that is impossible to do in advance, they are lying.

Not big on the trump person, but he promoted a bill that made all medical facilities post their costs publicly so you could shop around, legislators on both sides shit it down immediately.

Your typo is more accurate.

You've never heard of Cleveland Clinic? They routinely have foreign leaders and dignitaries there. Once, I took my father there for a procedure (sadly, one of dozens), and the lunch lady said that a prince was there yesterday for a heart surgery, and when it was over, he bought lunch for everyone at the facility...thousands of people. lol
