I am sorry you are having this issue.. but doesn't your surgeon have someone he can suggest..
He needs this for his submittal.. it would only make sense.
Most of the time we aren't having this trouble because the surgeon reccomends someone.

Hi Denise: I am not sure if she is taking any new patients but you can try Dr. Shafey in Hazlet - not too far from you - 732-739-9091 - Who is your surgeon? Good luck to you! I used to live in Old Bridge.

Thank You Dr.Mike,
I called my surgeon and they said I had to use a pyschiatrist. No I have no mental problems so Im not sure why this is as hard as it is. I did find one and am going monday , Im hoping he don't just take my money and not write my letter. He sounded alittle funny .I guess I'll see what happens monday. That is my last letter and I never thought I would have a problem with it so I waited till the end to do. I learned a lesson.
Thank you again
Denise
