I have to find a new PHP either with CentraCare or HealthPartners. Can anyone recommend someone who has some experience with Bypass patients? I had my surgery in the cities, and my doctor at the time didnt have much experience with the surgery.(but she was very helpful in getting the approvals)  Since my insurance has changed, and my PHP at CentraCare moved out of the area- I need to find a new physician.  Thanks in advance for any help!!

Couldn't you just go to a different doc in the cities? I'm getting mine done at ANW b/c my insurance will cover it if I have a center of excellence do the surgery...so I drive back and forth to the cities a lot for all of the appointments.

Hi there Sue!!! Wow have not seen you in a long time!! I don't really have an answer for you, I go to the medical Group, same area as Cetra Care but really not that impressed with my Doctor and looking to change. So if you get any good advise, let me know... There is a new Health Partners clinic they just built there next to the new Perkins...
Would love to hook up and catch up sometime if you are in town!! Take care...

Hi Sue....sorry I am no help....I see Dr. Glass and just adore him. Dr. Glass is strick but knows his stuff. He has an amazing nutritionist (Kristin) too.

However, Dr Glass isn't with either of those clinics.

Dr Glass had a partner Dr. Bettendorf who is now out on his own....he is somewhere in town but I don't know where. He was awesome too.

My personal doctor is Kathryn Mechelke at Centra Care....she is fabulous!!!!

Hope you find someone soon.

Hugs...connie d

Hey Connie!  Thanks for the info-  and believe it or not ,I had made an appt with  your doctor last week, since she was the only one taking new patients. The problem is that her first opening is March!!   Glad she has a great recommendation!!

How is Nic? always checking in on the site and have been following his progress- what an answer to prayer.

Hope we can catch up soon- haven't made it to coffee in so long- it always seems to fall on the weekends I have my grandkids.

Thanks for the info-

Hi Sue...you will love Dr M....she never rushes you and she is very kind and caring....thorough too!!!

It has been a long time since I have been at coffee too. I broke my hip a year ago.....had the rod and pin removed a month ago ....so I haven't done much....too much pain!! I gained about twenty pounds in this last year too. I haven't been able to walk or exercise....and too much sitting around grazing!! Hopefully when the bones are healed completely I can get out for my morning walks again....I really miss that!!

Nic is doing good...if you read his site you know he has a very busy summer....thank goodness!!!

I would love to see you sometime...keep in [email protected]  
I am also on Facebook.....look me up when you can.

Have fun with those grandchildren.....I get Gracie....Nic's little sister...for the week next week and am so excited. She is three and a bundle of joy for sure!!!

HUGS.....connie d
