I was referred by Susan Woolard, FNP with Dr Schultzaberger at Physicians East in greenville, NC. They are very supportive of this surgery.

Hi Natalie! My PCP is Dr. Christopher Chao at Lillington Family Medical Center about 25 minutes north of Fayetteville. He wasn't my referring PCP but he has been super supportive and even helped and was supportive of my decision to have a panniculetomy. His assistance and support helped get me approved. Good Luck!
