Hi Everyone,


      I am 3 years out and 1 lb away from goal. I have been the same weight now for atleast a year. I have lots of tummy issues with previous insision lines. I have documented with the doctors over the last 3 years. Have been prescribed different things to control the rashes. I have pictures. I just cant find a surgeon anywhere's near where I live that will take insurance. I cant afford to pay out of pocket. Anyone know of a surgeon close to Binghamton or Oneonta that will take insurance? Thanks in advance for your help

I'm not sure of the distance, but my surgeon is located in Livingston, New Jersey and he works out of Saint Barnabas Hospital in Livingston New Jersey.  His name is Dr. Bennett Rothenberg (973-994-3311) and he does submit photos and information to the insurance company.

Dr. Rothenberg is an amazing doctor with a wealth of knowledge pertaining to wls patients.  Good luck with your health.

 Most insurance companies will give you a list of providers who accept their insurance.  I know mine does.

Have you checked with Bassett hospital in cooperstown NY. That's where my surgeon is, and he takes mine. I love Dr Russin. He's such a kind, and gentle man. He did my carpel tunnel, my kids hand surgery and this week my panni. In a month he'll take care of my son's other hand too.

Thank you Teri. I havent checked with anyone in the Cooperstown area. I was looking in Binghamton NY and Scranton PA area as I live in the middle. However I havent found a surgeon in either area that will take insurance for plastic. I will expand my search to Oneonta/Cooperstown area. Could you PM a phone # for your Dr? Thanks again!
