West Valley PCP's

[snowbird 2]

I just got a notice that my PCP in Washington state, where I spend summers, is going to a concierge type service where you pay an annual retainer fee for his services. As I am there only 3 months out of the year, this will probably not make sense for me. So I am looking for a new PCP in Arizona, since I'm usually here more than I am there.

Does anyone have a doctor in the Surprise area or within 20 miles that is lap band knowledgeable and friendly? I don't want to either fight with a doctor that is unfavorable towards LBS, nor have to educate him or her in it. Please let me know if anyone has a good recommendation.

Hi there, I also live in the west valley! My primary care doctor is in Mesa though. I have been going to her for years and she is worth the drive! Dr. Sandra Levitt at Innovative Primary Care. Probably will take more than 20 minutes from Surprise though.

Thanks for replying. I had a doctor I liked in Gold Canyon, but that's almost two hours from where I live now, which is 17 miles west of Grand. I'll drive to Mesa to get my old hairstylist to cut my hair, but not to go to the doctor! Guess that shows where my priorities are.

you could always make the apointments for the same day he he I see we had our surgery 5 days apart. I just missed you in TJ!

My PCP is Thomas Fiel in Tempe. He's great about bands.

Good idea, Christal, but the doctor always wants me to come back in a week, and my hair doesn't grow that fast!

Thanks, Wasa. I will keep him in mind.
