Just moved to Lakewood - need drs. :help:

Hi All in the Cleveland area. I just moved to the Lakewood area from Baltimore. I am 5 months post-op. Am needing the name of a surgeon, a pcp, a dentist and let me see: a support group. I will be seeing my surgeon in Baltimore from time to time - but he would like me to connect with a "good" doc here too. Any suggestions or where to look. I am missing my docs -- hope to find ones that are just as great. Thanks.

Hello, I'm also from the Cleveland area an I know of a few places for you to consider. 1. St. Vincent Charity Hospital of Cleveland has a Bariatric Center http://www.svch.net/bariatric/index.htm 2. University Hospital of Cleveland also has a Bariatric Department. http://www.uhcbariatrics.com Hope this helps

Hi Debra..... I'm partial to Dr. Craig Eyman from Parma Hospital as a surgeon - GREAT GUY and great staff!!!! (St. V and UHHS are very HUGE hospitals - Parma is smaller and seems to be more attentive) Also in Parma - dentist - Dr. Kozik or Kozyk - can't remember how its spelled, but again, very compassionate.. PCP - Don't know of any in Lakewood - mine is in Maple Hts, had him since I was 18 (now 39), again, up to date on the latest and greatest - Dr. Dale Balkovec Hope this helps....
