Question:
Do you know of a physician in California who take Medi-Cal?

I am posting this for a friend who does not have internet access. She works full time but unfortunatly does not have insurance. She does have Medi-Cal and is in desperate need health wise for this surgery. Does anyone know of any doctors in the state who take this. We realize the wait will be long but she is willing undertake it. Anyone?    — [Anonymous] (posted on January 9, 2002)

I am seeing Dr. Jeffery Jenkins, he does take Medi-cal. I have United Healthcare but one of his patients is on Medi-cal and she got approved. He is located in Auburn, CA that is just North of Sacramento. He seems to be very warm from what others have stated, although I haven't met him yet. I will on the 28th!

I DO KNOW THAT DR. PETER LePORT IN FONTANA TAKES MEDICAL. ALSO, THERE IS A DOCTOR IN DELANO THAT DOES ALSO. YOU CAN CALL THE DELANO HOSPITAL AND FIND HIS NAME. I CAN'T REMEMBER IT. IF SHE HAS BLUE CROSS, PACIFIC BARRIATRICS IN SAN DIEGO WILL TAKE IT ALSO. GOOD LUCK TO HER.

Hi. Doctor Gladen from Fresno accepted Medicare and Medi-cal but is no longer performing WLS. But Dr. Wolfe in Sacramento does and has a very long waiting list.
