Help finding a new PCP in Southeastern WI!
I have decided if I want to have surgery, I'm going to need to get a new PCP. It's been over a month and she still hasn't written a letter to send to the insurance. I don't know what to do. I wrote a letter and gave it to her and she said she wanted to dictate one herself. That's okay with me, but I didn't plan on waiting over a month for a letter.
Does anyone know of a very WLS friendly PCP in SE WI that takes United? Probably I'll wind up having to go to Racine or Kenosha, which is okay. My current PCP is in Kenosha. I just want to be able to have the surgery done, sooner rather than later!
Hi:
Don't know if you found a pcp yet, but my dr. is very well versed with wls and is very nice. His name is Dr. Michael Dawson and is out of West Allis Memorial Hospital. His phone number is: 414-328-8630. While I'm recommending a pcp, I'll give you the name of my wls surgeon - an awesome dr. with excellent aftercare. Bariatric surgeon's name is Nicholas Armstrong who is out of St. Lukes Medical, Milwaukee. His phone number is: 414-649-3240.
Hope this information helps!
P.S. Dr. Armstrong has a monthly support group. Our next meeting is: January 18th, 6:30 p.m. in the Science 1 Building (Behind St. Lukes Hospital on KK Riverparkway, take the elevator to the basement floor and follow the signs).
