Question:
Which PCP would you recommend in the Pittsburgh, PA area

I am having problems with my PCP backing me 100% and I am now looking for a new PCP that is 100% supportive of this. I do have a consult scheduled with the surgeon, but I still want to switch.    — Kristina G. (posted on December 17, 2002)

I had the surgery in March 02 and my PCP is Bonnie Case her office is in Shaler. I can email you her name, address, and number. She is out of an UPMC office. Hope this helps.

My PCP is Thomas Painter, MD, at UPMC Deot Internal Medicine at Montefiore. When I first discussed wls with him, he said that my insurance probably didn't cover the procedure. I said it does, and he referred me in. Ask that he document the wls inquiry in your medical file -- this helps enormously.
