Which Dr. ????? San Antonio



Recommended Posts

I'm so confused as where I should go. I have no idea which Dr.s are in my network or not. I tried to look on BC/BS FEP web site and can't find none. I have a seminar on Sat at NE Baptist but I haven't seen anyone here use them and it worries me. Someone help please, lol.

So far I have heard of True Results, NIX, and I have a seminar this Sat. at NE Baptist with Dr. Patel and Dr. Cavazos. I hope someone can lead me with their experience in the right direction.

TIA

I have BCBS of IL and will be using Dr. Carcamo at the Nix. Several of my friends have used Dr. Wright with no complaints. Hope this helps.

I had the surgery on 12/31/07 by Dr. Wright at the NIX Hospital. The staff in the office is very good. They have all of the insurance information at hand and can answer all of your questions. Try one of the seminars at the NIX with the South Texas Surgeons. Both of them are very good and I believe they really care.

his staff leaves a lot to be desired but my results are going well.

I just sent you an email . The best thing to do to see which doc is in your network is to call your insurance and see which names they give you .

You will probably have to call them , Lap Band docs most likely will not be on their websites under Baratric surgeons , So calling is probably your best bet ?

Or if you calling docs in the area and asking them if they take your insurance.

I use Dr. Duperior here in SA. He is with New Dimensions. They do most of their surgeries at a brand new hosp called Foundation Bariatric Hospital on Heubner. Their staff is specially trained to work with bariatric patients. Look up ND website and attend a seminar. They will check on your insurance for you. Good luck

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
