Dallas Friends - I think I need a new doctor.....

I will try to make this short - my original surgeon no longer has anything to do with Lap Band so I found a new doctor a couple of years ago.  I found out this week my new doctor no longer accepts my insurance!!  I can't afford the $180 doctor visits AND the $125 each time I get a fill!!

Can anyone recommend a good surgeon in the Dallas area that will take other doctors patients?  I would love to see the doctor and get a fill at the same time/place in lieu of going two different places and paying twice. 

I want to stay on this journey as it's been a struggle for various reasons but I can't go broke in the process.

I would appreciate any suggestions and/or ideas.

Thank you - have a blessed Day - Lori

ask your current surgeon's office for a referral... it's easier to get 'in' with a new doc that way.....

Call the Fill Center in Richardson...at the Surgery Center of Richardson. They only do LapBand there. 972-331-9500. See who they recommend or what they suggest. My husband and I don't even see our surgeon anymore because the aftercare is done at the fill center.
I know if we needed anything he'd see us though.

Kris,

Thanks for your suggestion - I currently go to the Surgery Center of Richardson.  I was a cash pay patient.  It's a long story at to why I still see my surgeon!!

Thanks and have a great weekend.

My surgeon is wonderful... He has an office in Dallas and one in Plano. His number is 214-820-8220
