medicare doctor???
Dr. Gibbs in Little Rock. Also you can go to www.surgicalreview.org and that is the official site for the centers of excellence/medicare and you can click on a state and it tells you all the Dr's and their address and phone numbers for that state that can take medicare, as long as with hospitals. If you decide to go out of the state then you can find what you need at that site for looking for Dr's in that state.
It's the site I used while I was waiting for a Dr in Arkansas to be able to take Medicare, I used to check that site every week while I was waiting.

Oh. I was going to say Dr. Gibbs also. When I went to the seminar back in May I recall Carrie (his nurse) saying to someone beside me that they are scheduling medicare pt like 4 to 6 months out. Dont quote me on that but my husband remembers something to that effect also. I just remember thinking what is the diffrence when you get scheduled. Anyway I am using Dr.Gibbs for my surgon in less than two weeks and I have 100% faith in him. Hope all goes well for you.
