Question:
Live on central coast need to find surgeon that takes medi-cal

I know it has been asked before but it has been quite awhile ago, the Dr. I was going to go through in Santa Barbara suddenly stopped taking medi-cal patients. I need to find one and I don't mind if I have to travel. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time    — cocosmama (posted on March 6, 2008)

Hi, Many times you can get referals to physicians by calling your local hospital. If you're looking for a bariatric physician you can find lists of physicians through Bariatric centers of excellence or on the web. I found my current physician by just asking local friends if they recommend anyone. Best wishes.

Hi Jean, I know my doctor (in Fresno) has an office in Pismo beach. I think he is there about twice a month. I don't know about the Medi-Cal, but it is worth a phone call. He is a wonderful surgeon and I have been please with the entire experience. The Fresno phone number is 559-431-thin! His OH link is: http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/bariatric+surgeon+profile+edward+felix+coe+cqr.html. His personal website is: http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/bariatric+surgeon+profile+edward+felix+coe+cqr.html Good luck!!
