Plastic Surgeon?
I'm going through a Dr. Farnworth in Ahwatukee for a FTT on May 15th. I'm also having another surgeon fix a very large incisional hernia at the same time. I've heard great things from him too. I would of tried Dr. Gitts but he didn't take my insurance unfortunately. They did get everything approved for my surgery and I couldn't be happier about that. They are saving me thousands....
Good luck,
Renee'

Hey there Cute Renee',
Just wanted to pop in and congratulate you on all your weight loss success! .... I wonderd though about the reference to insurance and Dr. Gitt. NVPS accepts most major insurances; including BCBS. You don't need to be contracted with them to get coverage. I apologize if you were misinformed. I just didn't want anyone to be discouraged from coming in for a consult. Our insurance coordinator works magic and usually can tell everyone before they even leave their consult whether or not their insurance could cover. Dr. Gitt and Dr. Heffel can identify within that consult whether someone meets the medical criteria or not.
Plastic surgery is definitely a big investment in our new thinner but "saggier" bodies; and getting help from insurance when things are medically necessary is a big bonus!
Good luck with your journey and keep in touch!
