Primary Care Doctor in Springfield Area

Can any one suggest a good primary care doctor or internal medicine doctor in the Springfield area or going east on I 44 toward Ft. Leonard Wood, that is knowledgeable on the care of GB-RNY patients?  I also need one that takes Medicare and Medicaide.  Don't ask for much do I?  LOL

I don't want you to think no one is answering you!!! I see Dr. Thomas Thomas at Smith, Glenn, Calloway Clinic in Springfield but I don't think he's even seeing new patients, let alone Medicare/Medicaid. There are quite a few patients out that way but I think most of them are Military dependents or retirees.
Hope you can find someone. It's really hard.

Thanks Lana.  I'll surely find someone.

I would suggest Dr. Heath Morgan, he is at St. John's Clinic-Internal Medicine-Smith Glynn Callaway 3231 S. National Avenue Suite 300 Springfield, MO 65807 Phone: 417-888-5658.  He was recommended to me by the doctor who did my RNY surgery. I think he is an excellent doctor, and he is very knowledgeable about weight loss surgery. I have had many different problems after my surgery and he has helped me through them and if it was something out of his field he has referred me to another doctor that he knows is also knowledgeable about weight loss surgery patients. I looked on St John’s web site and it says he does take new patients and also accepts Medicare and Medicaid. I would highly recommend him. He is a very caring doctor and he will sit and listen to you and he will not push anything on you if don’t want it done. I can’t say enough good things about him.

Hi Alan,

Thanks for all the info on your doctor. I will try and give him a call.  I had a good doctor through Cox system for many years but he moved to another state, and then I moved away for a short time.  When I came back I couldn't believe how hard it is to find a doctor!!

I am a little over two years out and having some problems with my labs. 

At this time Dr. Morgan is not accepting Medicaide patients.  Anyone know about Dr. Rossiter, Dr. Averneni or Dr. Modi at Smyth Glenn in Springfield?  I also need a doctor that believes in Fibro.
