I live in Atlanta also and was approved for surgery 8-13-01(last Friday). My doctor is at Emory Hospital Dr.C.Daniel Smith. I found him through my insurance company. There are many doctors in Atlanta to choose from. I would start with the insurance company to recommend one they cover. That's what I did. Good Luck:)

My PCP is in Marietta. Actually she is a nurse practioner. The dr. on my card reads Dr. Elham Syed. Anyway I always see Susan Saulsbury. She right across from Kennestone Hospital. I was approved through blue choice July 27. The barriatric dr I am using is Dr. Sidney Appel in Decatur. He is at Dekalb Medical Center. Hope this helps.

Try Dr. Sydney Appel at the Dekalb Medical complex. I think he takes Aetna I am just not sure if it is the PPO he takes and not the HMO. It is worth a try ,
