New WLS Center Opening In Middletown

I just thought I'd pass this along. The Wish Center is going to open a new location at Middletown Regional Hospital. Seminars in Middletown start on 5/17 and in Dayton on 5/20. The clinic itself will open on 6/17 with the first surgery scheduled for 8/9. While *my* surgeon said Medicare wouldn't cover WLS, this place DOES accept Medicare. The operator said they worked out arrangements to have Medicare cover 80% of the surgery. She also said they would definitely make arrangements for the other 20%. I think this is great for folks (like my friend's mother) who need to have WLS, but can't find a doctor nearby who will take Medicare. The Wish Center's website has lots of information, including some info on the 2 surgeons for Ohio, Kira Schofield, MD, FACS and Ranjit R. Singh, MD, FACS. The address is www.wishcenter.org OR their Ohio toll-free number is (888)854-9474
