I need a new PCP
Hi Tyra--I see Dr. Eric Straka MD in Canton. He is a sweetheart, very compassionate & WLS friendly. He is willing to do what it takes for the approval process. I even took him sample documentation for my office visits & he makes sure he follows it when he sees me.

Good luck!

I say DEFINITELY switch. Not only for the WLS but just in general. It took a year for me to find the doctor I have now and he is wonderful. I need someone to listen, respect and talk to me as an ADULT, not a child. My Dr knew how hard I was working at losing weight and we sat down and had an HONEST talk about my health and he wanted to know what ideas I had to help. He listened and when I mentioned WLS he told me to make sure I did my research on it and he would help me with anything I needed. I wasn't looking for his approval, but it helped that I had his support. I have finally made up my mind about having the surgery and he is behind me 100%. He is in Southfield, his name is Michael White M.D, and his phone # is 248-354-9666.
Good luck in your search.
