Looking for PCP...

I am looking for a new Primary Care Physician in the Bowie, Annapolis area that is WLS friendly and I really prefer a woman. Anyone have a Dr that fits that criteria? Oh, my insurance is Aetna HMO. If it's a terrific male Dr I'll consider him. My Dr is moving out of the area after 13 years!! I'm gonna miss her. Thanks a lot!

Sue, If your willing to travel a little further to Pasadena the entire office is female physicians that are wonderful and completely supported my decision to have RNY this past year. It's MD Primary Care Physicians Pasadena, their phone number is 410-255-2700, Dr. Candace Chandleor or Dr. Loraine Daily should be listed in your Aetna Physician listing. Good Luck with your journey.

Hi Denise, Thanks for the referral. I see you often on the boards, you are so helpful. All your input and experience sharing is valuable to pre-ops like myself - thanks for sharing your journey! Sue

Dr. Daily is my sister's PCP and she Loooooooooooooves her.

Sue, Thank you so much that was very sweet. I don't have all the answers but occassionally I try to give good information to those who are still figuring out. Good luck in your journey and if you have any questions feel free to ask. Take Care, Denise

Gaithersburg might be a little far for you, but I LOVE mine. She's also very supportive of WLS, and has now had 5 patients who either have had or are going through the process. The practice is Comprehensive Primary Care - I see the nurse practioner, Pam Godwin. Phone is 301-869-9776. Good Luck, Lynn

Thank you so much for the referrals! I am never dissappointed with the response when I need help or a question answered. Lynn - thanks for the info but I do think that is too far for me to go. Sounds like you have a great Dr, good for you. Whatever makes the journey easier! Take care and thanks gain! Sue
