Does anyone know of Medicare doctors?

I have been on the Missouri board and found out that not all doctors accept us Medicare disability patients. Does anyone have any input on who does and doesn't take Medicare folks? I heard one of several in Missouri and one group in Norman but thought if they did surely someone knows of someone in Tulsa, hopefully, or at least Little Rock. Sure hoping for some better news so please pull out the forces and give me good news. I had thought I settled on a group in Springfield but they were not in the ones mentioned in the Missouri forum so I will have to ask them. But I wanted to have options if ones are out there.

Hi Carol, I am having my RNY surgery done in Arlington Heights, IL by Dr. Kane Jr.  His practice has a center of exellence rating.  Which you are probably aware, we ( medicare patients)  have to go to a center of excellence!  Dr Kane Jr.'s father wrote a lot of the bariatric procedures.  Mercy Capitol Bariatrics department actually trained with the Kane Center in Arlington Heights, IL.  I would highly recommend him and any of his partners...they are all great doctors.  Check out the Illinois forum.  I will send you the website address of all of the SS approved site listings.  Check out my profile...
