Guest guest Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 dakota's gi doc is refusing to write us a letter of medical necessity which will help us in our quest to have dr rice operate. dr barrette barnes of vua want us to let dr bradely rodgers operate on dakota. he says because he works with dr rodgers he is obligated to refer to my son to dr rodgers because he, dr barnes, " depends on his relationship " with the doctors at uva. since when does a doctor not consider what the patient wants. i am cring so hard right now i can't even see how type. please please help me. should i get a lawyer? i only wants dr rice, i don't doubt dr rodgers is a good surgeon but he has only done 7 of these procedures and one of the seven had to go back. he has not kept tract of his previous patients and refuses to give us any phones numbers or information regarding his patient outcomes. when asked about the fact dakota has eosinophilic esophagitis and the impact it could have on surgery he, dr rodgers said " he didn't know. " when ask how dakota gastropresis will impact the surgery he said " i don't " know. what the hell... please if anyone can advise me, please...angela Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
