Dr. Warden
I had contacted his office about having surgery because I want to have the DS surgery and he is only 1 of 2 in the area who does this type of surgery. His office told me that the hospital is not a Center of Excellence and they are not certified to accept medicare so, I am having to look at other options. I really have no personal experience with him. I wish you much succes in your endeavor to have this surgery. They did say that he does not do surgery in Baton Rouge, only in Covington.
I used Dr Warden and had surgery on 5/31/07. I had 2 friends who also used him and everyone seems happy with him and the staff. I had the surgery at Southern Surgical in Slidell and the hospital was wonderful both day of and prior to surgery. I was a insurance patient but my friends were both cash pay and had great luck after surgery in getting a portion of their money back from the insurance company. I have United Health care and it was included on my policy paid at 80% because the drs were out of network. Good Luck!!
