Try looking on this site in the find a doc area. The doctors are all listed and they show where they are located at. You will then need to go to your ins. co and check with them to see if they are in-network. I will tell you right now that The Wish Center in Downers Grove is not in-network for any ins. co. But, they are a fantastic organization. I am going thru them right now and I am impressed with all of the staff and the surgeon that will do my surgery. Their web site is www.wishcenter.org I have BCBS PPO of IL and they are not in my network, and I have a very impressive network of covered doctors. If you have a co-insurance you have your other ins. co pick up the other percentage that your personal ins. co does not cover as I am having my husband's co doing in my case. Most doctors will make arrangements for you to make payments if the charges are not all covered on your insurance. Good luck.

I went with Suburban Surgical Care in Arlington Heights through Weight for Life. They work out of Alexian Brothers Medical Center in Elk Grove Village. I'm not sure if they take your insurance, but you never know. Surburban Surgical Care can be reached at 847-255-9697. Good luck and God Bless!
