Question:
Can you help me find a WLS friendly Primary Care Physician in Portland Oregon?

A very good friend of mine is in need of a new PCP. She is unable to get past her Drs group as they are declining her referral. She needs a WLS friendly PCP. This Dr will need to be on Aetna insurance and possibly on Providence. Please help me find a WLS Dr. This Dr. would be conveniently located in the Beaverton area.. but hey I think she may be willing to travel if she can get in w/ a good Dr to support her. She has already been seeing Dr. Friedman for the consult for the surgery.    — Dawn R. (posted on May 24, 2001)

I think the best thing your friend can do is to as the receptionist at the surgeons office what doctors have already sent referrals to this surgeon. She can even check to see that the insurance is a match. Best of luck
