Reb,

How did your surgery go? How do you feel now?

Topic: RE: Dr. Kim in Celebration

I filled out forms the night of the seminar, and then filled out all the medical questionaire online the next day. I made multiple calls to the office and no message was ever returned. I even emailed the program coordinator at Dr. Kim's office and heard nothing back.

The day I called Dr. Marema's office I spoke to a live person. I was sent all of the same forms, filled them out, and the next day I had an appt for the following week with Dr. Marema. At that appt I scheduled my surgery, since I was self pay. It was over 2 weeks before anyone at Dr. Kim's office returned my call. This is just my experience.

I am so thankful that I found Dr. Marema. His staff, and the folks at Flager are top notch. Almost makes me wish I lived in St. Augustine.

What you can do is goggle Bariatric Doctors that takes Medicaid, and Medicare. I know Dr. Muhammad Jawad in Ocala, and Orlando takes Medicare. I don't have the phone number by me. He did my surgery and he is a great doctor.

It may take a few days (maybe a week) to get calls for your appointments. Don't get discouraged. You saw how many people were at the information session and that was just one night. They have them every Wednesday.

They use both. The online one gets you into their system. The attached one you bring to your appointment with the nurse practitioner.

Hi Katie

I got a call from Shawna today and an email from her. I do have a question:

The day after the Wed night seminar I received an email and it wanted me to fill out some sort of registration medical questionaire.

Today in Shawna's email to me was attached a 15 page questionaire.

Question: which one do they use? Which one does Dr Kim use?

I'm a little confused.
