Finding a new Doc

Hi. I find myself needing to find a new surgeon. I was scheduled to have surgery in december but due to some problem with the hospital that won't happen. I live in MO about 50 miles from the Iowa line so I was thinking of looking into docters in Iowa. Any help would be great. Oh, and i'm on medicaid so would help to know if he took that. I'm not if you can even go out of state like that with medicad. Thanks a bunch for any info. Hugs, Kel

Hi Kelly, My name is Tammy. I too am on Medicaide and I am having Open RNY in oooooh, 8 HOURS!!! LOL. Anyway, My surgeon is Dr. Monte Schwartz in Grinnell, IA. You can check out my profile to see more info. The surgeon's office also has a WONDERFUL web site. The link is: "www.grinnellsurgeons.com". Good luck and if you have any questions, I should be back after Thursday ~Tammy

Kelly, I had surgery at the University of Iowa, In Iowa City. They are great there however they have a long waiting list. If your looking to have surgery soon this may not be a option. Good Luck with your search.
