Question:
Searching for a Doc that does the Lap RNY in Florida...

I need your help. I am looking for a doctor that does the Lap RNY in the Florida area. I live in Orlando and have made the decision to have the surgery. I spoke with my insurance agency and they told me that I should have no problems getting approved based on the information I gave. I contacted a Doctor in Ft. Lauderdale and he made an appt for me but cancelled at the last min. Please help. Thanks.    — Shannon B. (posted on June 27, 2000)

Dr. Murr (pronounced "Moore" ) does lap RNY. I don't have his phone number handy but he is in Tampa and works out of Tampa General Hospital.

Dr Anthony Terracina in Panama City, FL does Lap RNY. He is a wonderful surgeon. His office number is 850-785-3232. I can't say enough wonderful things about how good he has been.

Try Dr. English or Dr. Carisiquilla (totally spelled wrong) at Florida Medical Center in Ft. Lauderdale. So far, their office has been awesome! The number is 1-877-363-8446.
