Hello I just talked with the nurse from Mercy Capital in Ds Moines IA. I am from Dubuque IA and i want to get all of the stuff they require done in Dubuque. She wants me to have a sleep study because I wake up at night (it is only because I have to go to the bathroom) I don't feel at all i have sleep apnea but anyway they want one I am not sure where to go??? Anyone in Dubuque know? I also need to get an echocardiogram (I will go to Medical Assoc.) and a psch eval? anyone know where to go for that too? I don't want to go to medical assoc. for that. Who else does them? sorry so many questions. I am excited to get this stuff done. i wish I could ask a and poof it be done! THANK YOU Angel

I will answer...I will answer!!! Why not go to medical associates for the pysch eval? I had my pysch stuff done there....they didn't even do an eval....they just said I was ready for it But in town there is also Gannon Center (they are in the professional arts plaza right next to mercy hospital).....but if you have Med Associates they probably will only let you go see one of their docs. I had my sleep study done at Mercy Hospital and my PCP from medical associates ordered it.....I don't think you can just call up and schedule it.....I think Mercy Capital or whatever might have to, or your PCP here! Do you have a PCP in DBQ? I too had no signs of sleep apnea and had to do a sleep study! I LOVED medical assocaites.....but had to do the big switch over last year to Deere Good luck and feel free to ask away Jesi

GOOD ANSWER!!! GOOD ANSWER!!! Thank you!!! That helps a lot. Yes I have a PCP ishe is Dr. Nelson from Dubuque Internal Medicine. I will call her tomorrow to start to get my referrals for my insurance (tricare). It sounds like from the nurse when you get the clearance letters from the echo, sleep study and psch. eval. you get a green light then the doctor (after seeing him and a nurse plus a dietician) will submit a letter to the insurance and if you are approved they schedule the surgery in 2-3 weeks. I am so excited it is hard to think straight on what I have to do next!thank you Jesi!!! You are an Angel
