Need surgeon close to Okaloosa County.....

Hi all, My sister is desperate to find a doctor and/or surgeon in North Florida that accepts Medicaid. She lives in Okaloosa County and can't seem to get any help. Any info would be deeply appreciated! Thanks so much!

http://www.wellcare.com/HealthPlans/Florida/HealthEase/FindAPhysician.aspx I did a search and did not find any in Okaloosa County but there are some in Escambia county. Good Luck

THE ONLY DOCTOR IN THE WHOLE STATE OF FLORIDA THAT ACCEPTS MEDICAID IS DR. SAMUEL COX. I LIVE IN LEON COUNTY AND I AM HAVING TO DO THE DISTANCE IN ORDER TO HAVE THE WLS. OTHER DOCTORS DO NOT ACCEPT IT BECAUSE OF THE MALPRACTICE LAWS FOR DOCTORS AND THE INSURANCE RATES AND GUIDELINES THAT DOCTORS HAVE TO AQUIRE. SO MANY THAT ACCEPTED MEDICAID YEARS AGO HAVE STOPPED DOING SO. YOU CAN CONTACT DR. COX'S OFFICE AT (954)928-0066. SPEAK WITH CAREY AND ASK TO HAVE YOUR PATIENT PACKET SENT TO YOU. IF YOUR CONCERNED ABOUT THE HOTELS AND RENTAL CARS, THE BEST PLACE FOR YOU TO GO IS PRICELINE.COM AND SECURE YOUR RESERVATIONS THERE. YOU CAN GET CHEAPER RATES AND SOME VERY NICE HOTELS. PLEASE DON'T TRY THE TAXI THING LIKE I DID. I SPENT WAY TOO MUCH FOR THE 4DAYS I WAS THERE TO DO ALL MY TESTING, DR. APPTS. AND CLASSES. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS THAT, JUST E-MAIL ME AND I WILL SHARE WHAT I CAN. I PRAY THAT ALL WORKS OUT WELL FOR YOU AND YOUR SISTER. I WILL BE PRAYING FOR YOU ALL. HAVE A BLESSED DAY. RUTH
