HI, I dont know how far of a drive it would be , but try DMC in Detroit.. they were great. They may do some kind of a cash discount. The Drs work through Cori Centers.. try www.weightlosssurgery.com Good luck, April

I had surgery 3 weeks ago in Toledo. Dr. Patrick White is the greatest! I don't know about payments, but a phone call will answer your question. Here is a link to check out: http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/bariatric+surgeon+profile+Patrick+White+nfg.html Good Luck! Darlene

Hi Ramona. While I'm not sure if payments are available, I can tell you that I used Dr. David Fallang at the Surgical Weight Loss Center in Dayton, OH. His facility did an excellent job and he offered split billing so I only had to pay about $8000 out of pocket for the open rny. He repaired my hernia and fixed my acid reflux at the same time and took the insurance as payment in full for those procedures (meaning I didn't have to pay a deductible). I don't have their phone number, but I'm sure you could find them online. All I know is that I'm thrilled with his procedure and with the results...and if it's self-pay then you get scheduled much sooner.

I also had Dr Patrick White ~ Toledo Hospital. Would highly recommend him to everyone. He also has a great support group that meets first Wednesday of the month. Can't answer payment options as my insurance covered it. Please give them a call. Kristi is the bariatric coordinator for Dr White. She can be reached at 419 291-6740. Best wishes to you!
