Don't know any specifics, but I think Geisinger may operate a clinic in Scranton area.  of course Danville may not be that far away from you.  I think they do WLS in Hazelton???

Geisinger does surgeries in Wilkes Barre and Danville. I believe they have started doing sleeves . Great support system before and after surgeries though.


http://www.geisingerbariatrics.com  This should take you to the Geisinger Bariatric page for more info.

#1 - what are looking to have done?  The gastric sleeve and the band are two different surgeries.

I'm not sure how many local hospitals are doing the sleeve, although I'm sure there are a few.

I know Geisinger does RNY and the band.  I would suspect they would take Access as they do for other things.

Please let me encourage you to do your homework and know what surgery you want.  Think twice, and cut once.

Good luck.

I'm pretty sure Dr Clark Gerhart at the surgical specialists in wilkes barre pa takes the card.
