Ahhhh I have to start over
I am so sorry you have hit this too . and I am soory it has taken so long for me to reply comcast has been down all day .
The end of Feb Medicare released a ruleing that not only the surgical centers had to have speceail certification but the dr do to . The center at Baptist has it but Dr Lynch and dr Mcfowell do not . I choice to submit my papwerwork with Centinial at this time instead of waiting it out . they have 1 dr who will take medicare but he only takes 2 a month and they are booked several months ahead but I felt it was my best chance . I just finished submitting all my packet today so now I get to wait and see for a few more weeks . I hope you find a dr who can help you just keep looking and keep calling .

Hi Laura this must be why noone is returning my calls i will keep trying what is the name of the Dr who accepts medicare?? thank you again Bertha
Bertha the first thing is to call Centennial center for the treament of obesity 342-1231 and go to their seminar and do the packet . when they ask you to choose a dr pick dr Dyer . I would get all my papers done for them as quickly as poss since he only take 2 medicare patients a month .
Best of Luck
