This is my first post online, but I have been lurking around the boards for about 2 yrs.  Started my process March with Aetna, submitted  in June and approved 10 days later.  Now i have relocated to Atlanta from Jacksonville and need to choose a doctor in Aetna Network for lap band.  Please give opinions.  Thank you.

I'm not sure if he is in the Aetna network but there is a clinic in Rome Ga.  A little ways north of atlanta.  It is called the Harbin clinic.  Dr. J. Ryland Scott.  You may want to check that out.  I just went to an info session there and I am impressed so far with the staff and Dr. Scott.

I am using Dr. Scott in Rome for my RNY 8/3/09.  He has a great staff and he is great and very thorough.  He has a PA that does the fills.  I know there are a lot of great doctors in the Atlanta area also.
