Hi Ladies,
I am starting a new job soon and will be also switching to a new insurance company...United Health. My old doc is good but located too far away for an easy commute and I just dont go to her as often as I should because of that.   I need to see after my health and blood work better then I have in the past .  
I am looking for a primary care physician in the West End.  
I would like to find a doctor that has experience with Gastric Bypass and the kind of follow up/extra care that we need. Can anyone here recommend someone?

Thanks a bunch!

Tanya

 I don't know if the office takes your insurance, but my doc is WONDERFUL!!! 

Tam from this forum recommended him to me and I have not been disappointed. He is now my mother's PCP too. I had her switch to him earlier this year. She hasn't looked back!

He is quite verse in the different bariatric surgeries and from what I can tell eager to learn too! I had my surgery (DS) in NC and my care is coordinated between my PCP and my surgeon. So far, so good!

 Hey Tanya:

I highly recommend Dr. Sirisha Neralla at Glen Allen Internal Medicine (part of the Bon Secours Medical group). I have been going to her for some time, actually she does all my follow-up now (I'm 3 years out). I love her and she has been really helpful in some bariatric issues that have come up for me. This is a 2 physician practice - the other is Dr. Aysha Habib; I have chatted with her on a couple of occasions and think you would probably also be ok with her. But since I am dealing medically with Dr. Neralla, she would be my recommendation. They are located at 5207 Hickory Park Drive, Suite A, Glen Allen, Va (off Nuckols Rd, about 1/2 mile off 295). Phone 612-2980. Their office staff is also great! Good luck in your doctor search, wherever it leads.
