I for some reason cannot find a Dr. that does lap surgery in my area.

I am having the toughest time finding a Dr. that will take my insurance. Aetna PPO open choice that does the laproscopic surgery in the Western Pa or Eastern Oh area. I've looked in the data base on this web site & it doesn't tell you what kind of surgery that they do. The few that I have found in the area that do lap surgery don't take my insurance. I called my insurance company & was told that they can only send my a list of Drs. that do general surgery but it doesn't specify what kind of surgery they do. So I would have to go through the list of litterly hunderds of general surgens & call each one to see if they do this kind of surgery!!! No thanks!! The one surgen I did find in Pittsburgh PA is kind of giving me a hard time about the insurance thing. I kind of feel that I'm being put the on the last of the list due to the fact that he isn't in my "network" even though my insurance will pay 70/20 of "non network" Drs. They told me just to basically look elsewhere. Isn't there ANY EASIER WAY??? Please email me with any Drs. you may know that do lap surgery in these areas!! I'm starting to get very frustrated!!
