When is Support Group for Dr. Hoeltgen/Barrington???

Guess I could just call his office but wondered if anyone here would know. I am 2 months post op and thought I should probably go!!! THANKS! Hollie

. Congrats on your surgery, Hollie! I'm a patient of Dr. Hoeltgen (he rocks!!) but I don't attend any support groups out there because they're too far away. I'm only about 10 minutes from O'Hare, so when I attend support groups, they're the ones in the north suburbs.

Dayna, Thanks for the info. I'm in Algonquin so all of those locations listed are a bit far from me. I'll just have to call Dr. H's office to see when the one is at his hospital. I appreciate your reply! Hollie
