looking for Oregon Plastic Surgeon

I live and work in the Eugene Hospital, but due to HIPPA and Privacy, I don't want a local MD to do it. I am looking for recommendations for in Oregon but outside of Eugene. I am also looking for someone who is good at working with insurance companies and writing the letters showing the need. Thanks Ginger

Dr Tersigni in North Bend does an excellent job, he is also a bypass and lad band dr, you can look up his medical lic on line. Also under the Forum for Dr. Tersigni on this web site there is a lady by the name of Laurie V. who talks about how happy she is with the plastic surgery he did for her, I've read her profile and she probably wouldnt mind of you email her. Im self pay as the Insurance Co wont pay so Im going to Julie Hansen at OSHU read a good artical of hers in the Portland news plus its closer for me since I live out side of Portland Good luck !

Hi Gail, I missed the meeting tonight because I had late night customers. When are you having surgery? What PS are you planing to have? I think my ins will cover a breast reduction and now is the time to have it while I still have some weight to lose. I really haven't lost much in that area... so would be wonderful if Ins WOULD cover SOMETHING in all of this. I'd tack on my arms and neck too and of course pay for those. So what is encouraging you to use Dr. Hansen? Trisha (otherwise known as Pat)

I would highly recommend Dr. Edwin Austin in Salem Oregon. Two years ago I had a bilateral breast reduction performed by him. I could not have hoped for a better result. He is wonderful. I just had my RNY performed here in Salem last week and am planning on going back to see him later on! I know he is highly regarded in our area. He has experience in working with bariatric patients and with insurance issues. Fran
