Question:
Does anyone know of a PCP who is sympathetic to obesity in the LA Area?

I have been approved for surgery through the state rehabilitation department but first I need a Primary Care Physician to recommend the surgery. I don't have insurance, therefore don't have a PCP and I haven't been in California very long. I was wondering if someone could suggest a doctor who is sympathetic to obesity and will honestly evaluate me for surgery and not have a bad attitude when I first walk in? If there is a doctor anywhere within a 100 mile radius of Burbank, CA, I can get there! Please email me as soon as you can at [email protected], Thanks!!!    — Angela K. (posted on October 26, 2001)

Hi Angie. Call this number 626-449-0694, and ask for Debbie. She will be able to put you in touch with a PCP. They are terrific.
