Choosing a hospital and Dr in Indiana



Recommended Posts

Spoke to to my RN Caseworker for the first time today. Gotta go through paperwork to see if my Dr ever said anything about weight loss so I can use it as part of my Dr supervised diet because it doesn't need to be consecutive just in the last year!

In the mean time I need to choose a center and Dr. The RN is sending me a list today of which Dr at each center that I can go to but I'm pretty sure I'm going to choose either

St Vincents or IU Health North both of which is in Carmel Indiana. So if anyone has had any dealings with either centers and Dr's there I'd like to hear your experiences!

I don't live in Indianapolis now, but in the early 90's I lived at the Fountainhead Apartments on Laguna Drive, which was walking distance to St. Vincent. I was the General Manager of their Martin House Hotel.

I was never hospitalized there, but I did go to their Hand Center for a serious injury and was quite pleased with their care. One of my daughters (teenager at the time) was suffering from a bad case of teenage angst and visited a St. Vincent psychologist for a while with good results.

You might see what you can find out about their Bariatric program. They are a Bariatric Center of Excellence, which many Insurance companies require. Several of their physicians and bariatric professionals got their training at the IU medical Center.
