go to www.capitalone.com medical loans, cosmetic surgery, learn more, enter your zipcode, and it will bring a list of ps in that area that they work in conjuntion with. Hope this helps :0)

Kim, try calling University Hospital(Cincinnati) and ask for the Plastic Surgery clinic. A friend of mine went through the clinic (you will have a resident MD working along side a fully certified plastic surgeon) but the cost is about one third of private pay. I imagine they will also work with you on a payment plan. My friend was very pleased with her abdominoplasty and mastopexy with implants. (She looks great, too). I would have gone this route if my insurance had denied my abdominoplasty. Good Luck, Sue

Hi! I haven't done any detailed research. But I was told that Dr.Jennifer Butterfield from the University of Cincinnati was real good. I heard she is good with insurance, but check & see if she has a payment plan. Also here in Dayton at Miami Valley Hospital is a Dr.Johnson who I have heard has a lenient payment plan. Both specialize in Plastic Surgery. Good Luck!

Just wanted to add to Sunny's response that my friend saw Dr. Butterfield for a consultation and when her insurnace denied coverage, she asked Dr. Butterfield to refer her to the plastic surgery clinic. Guess what - Dr. Butterfield and a resident did her surgery at a much lower cost through the clinic! I had a consultation with Dr. Butterfield, got an insurance approval (after appeal) and am waiting for a date! She really is great.
