Have Referral - Need Information

Holy Cow Miss "Sandy in Tucson" ...you have got to be kidding! ???? .....Perfect is a four letter word! LOL! Sooooo....let's just say that my list would be long if I started to name all of my faults just to prove you wrong!....I'm not at goal, I'm not perfect with my food choices, I don't get to the gym as often as I should ........yada yada yada....So, let me just give you a cyber hug for the kind thought BUT.....I'm just "one of the girlfriends that chats and cares"! You have a great weekend! Joyce BTW- I enjoy hearing about all of the mountains you have conquered....that's a post-op success story that needs to be told! P.S. Are you and your honey bunches coming north to our Sprng Fling? It will be sooooooooo much fun!

I do not blame Tri Care for wanting you at Center of Excellence. I think Dr. Villares takes care of Tri Care in Arizona. I do not think he is with St. Lukes any more.....he may at be Good Sam. I am not sure Good Sam is a center of Excellence though. My friend at work is having Tri care pd surgery at Good Sam this coming Monday with Dr. Villares. Call and find out. Sandy in Tucson

I appreciate everyone's input. Actually received a second referral in my mail today to see Dr. Newhoff. I did call St. Luke's last week to ask if they were a center of excellence and the gal I spoke with said that she could not say because it wasn't published yet. It sounded to me like they have applied but have not yet received their certificate yet. I did request info from them which also came in today's mail so maybe we're on the right track towards getting somewhere. Again, thanks for everyone's input--it really does help.
