anyone go to Frederick M. Tiesenga, MD

anyone use the new hope center in river forest? I trying to see if I can get in quicker with them then all theese hoop with the comp clinic. anyway did you use him ? Like him? does he take medical card? I couldn't find any comments on him with surgons.

There are several of us who have been to him. Here is a couple of links to their profiles. Yes they do take medical card. Have you called his office to see what the wait list looks like? http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/profile.phtml?N=G1080063169 This is Debby G's site. She is awesome and will give rave reviews for Dr. Fred. http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/profile.phtml?N=B1080787092 This is Michelle's site and you can email her too. My personal care with Dr. Fred has been wonderful. There has not been a day that I have or even close to feeling like it and his staff is just as great also. Here is the number to their office if you would like to call them. Ask for Cecilia, she is the one that you will deal with for paperwork and seminar and insurance. She also schedules for surgery and appointments.

My PCP has had two of his office staff go to Dr. Fred and a number of others have used him too.. nothing but glowing reports!! Stef

I absolutely adore Dr. Fred. If you talk to Debby, she'll tell you too, NO PAIN after surgery. NONE. I'm almost a year out and I can't begin to tell you how happy I am with Dr. Fred. He is worth the wait. Yes, he is one of the few that take PA. I Heart Dr. Fred! Melissa

thanks for all the answers but cecila is very rude and abrasive at leaset to me on the phone. She was so rude I can't belive it she must be having a bad week so I am not going there... I guess I will have to stay with what I got.

That is probably not her having a bad day.. there have been comments about her a lot. I hope you would take the time to communicate the kind of treatment you got to the office manager or to Dr. Fred or Dr. Marvin directly. They need to know about this kind of thing -- you could be helping someone else to NOT go through what you did.. Either way.. good luck!! Stef

You might want to call and ask for Theresa. She is the office manager. Cecilia comes off that way to everyone. I had to call Theresa before she started being nice to me. I feel he is really worth the time and worth dealing with C. Shelley
