Topic: RE: Tampa Area Surgeon + Hospital

I am using Dr. Richard Gordon. He is in the same office as Dr. Gonzalvo. Dr. Gordon does his surgeries at Largo Medical hospital in Largo or Mease Dunedin in Dunedin. I know that it is a far distance from you but both these hospitals are great.

Topic: RE: Need a PCP in the St. Petersburg Area

Since you have Humana HMO I think you have to go to JSA. They are wholly owned by Humana. If you had a PPO you could go anywhere. I work for a PCP in Largo and we only take Humana PPO. I wish you the best of luck.

Don't know if you found one yet but Dr Ananda Som is wonderful!! He is very supportive of the surgery and was able to fill out all the necessary paperwork I needed. Plus he is very caring.

Topic: Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville?

Is anyone considering (or already had) bariatric surgery at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, FL?

I'm having my consults there on October 7th, and am wondering if anyone else has had experience with Mayo.

Hello Ya'll

Just wanted everyone to know the Dr. Jorge Sosa in Miami does not take shared cost. He had me drive down there and said that they decided that morning that they were not going to take it. Good Luck

Just about ALL of the Primary Doctors in Pinellas County are with JSA now.

It's a shame as JSA is about the money not about your medical health,

 

Check out these Primary Doctors in St.Pete:

Carlos Labrador      Michael Zimmer     John Kern

 

And update your OH profile, as it has you in GA. as your story may help someone else too!
