What surgeons accept Medicare assignment?

Dr Ara Keshishian, in Glendale, California, is considered one of the top DS revision surgeons in the world. He accepts Medicare but does charge a $3,000-$4,000 "program fee".

Dr K did my VSG to DS revision (incl tightening up my sleeve at the top) in January; I can't recommend him highly enough. As required, I stayed in the area for 10 days after my surgery but was soon out sightseeing by bus, on my own. The recovery and journey so far, have been remarkably smooth.

Wishing you the best,

Tricia
