Question:
Can anyone recommend a PS in Bakersfield/Fresno area?

After seeing a PS, jumping through insurance hoops, getting approval for a TT and scheduling a date, I just had the rug pulled out from under me. I received a letter from my PS today stating that they were cancelling all insurance contracts effective 4/22. My surgery is not scheduled until 5/16 so I think this means me. I guess I'm on the hunt for a new PS. As I am moving to the Bakersfield area at the end of this month, if anyone knows a qualified PS in that area (I'm willing to drive further if needed) that takes Blue Shield PPO please send me your referral. I'm also looking for a PCP in that area so I'd love to know if anyone can recommend theirs. Thanks.    — Tina P. (posted on April 9, 2003)

I havnt had a TT but I work in the medical field and would highly recommend Dr. Zuniga. I hear he is the best in Fresno. I dont know what insurances he takes. Sorry, hope I helped some. My pcp is Dr. G. Brar. Female doctor that totally supports WLS. She is great.

Try Dr. Felix in Fresno. He is terrific! He told me that they do TT as well as WLS. I'm SURE they can help you out!

Dr. Russ Stokes is a board certified plastic surgeon and is excellent. He trained at U.C. Davis and is the most gentle man I have ever met. He is in the Bakersfield area and his patients love him.
