My PCP is Dr. Scott Levin at the West Suburban Family Practice Center in River Forest IL. He wasn't my PCP at the time of my surgery, though one of his intern/residents was. He doesn't have a lot of experience working with WLS patients, but I have been very happy with my care there, and the approval process for BCBS/HMO IL with them was very easy for me. Feel free to e-mail me.
