Topic: RE: MEDICAID AND MEDICARE SURGEONS LIST!
Ok I've read thru the blog and from what I can understand is that as of 2010, there is only bariatric surgeons in miami and ocala? Does anyone know of surgeons' accepting straight medicaid?

I just had my surgery done at Palms of Pasadena by Dr Gonzalvo,,,he is awesome!!!!
Palms was "okay" ICU was great but when I was moved to a regular room I was not impressed. The night nurse complained about all the patients she had to take care of, she locked up the rails on my bed both sides and since I had tubes hooked up to me on both sides it would have been impossible for me to get out of bed. She did not leave me any ice or anything to drink and when she did come back in, she complained she was cold, which I had told her before I was freezing and she didn't do anything about it, I was shivering under my bedclothes.
Thank God for the aide, she gave me water and an extra blanket. The RN or LPN that night did not care about me at all, it seemed to be all about her. I was so happy Dr Gonzalvo discharged me the next evening because I was afraid i would have had to deal with her again.
Last but not least, I was discharged and walked down to the front entrance instead of being brought down with a wheelchair ( my Dr orders) like every other hospital I have ever been in. LPN said, cutbacks and short staff yadda yadda yadda.
I would recommend Dr Gonzalvo,,,,,,,,,,but Palms of Pasadena...............NO WAY!!!
