Who do you see? I might have to start driving to Austin. I am going to

and White right now...and so far they have been horrible. Never see Dr.

Abercrombie. she sucks.....but she is suppose to be leaving so....maybe I

will see the new doc or the other Doc there. Her name is Dr. . Also there

billing is a mess.

I know they have The following docs: Cepada, Crout, and Tew. Which

one do you see?

I have heard lots of good stuff about Crout...but also that its impossible

to get in to see him...takes months to get an appnt. I use to work with Tew

when I worked for NAMC in ICU...he seemed OK...but a lot of the patients did

NOT like him.

I don't know much about medicare, but if they don't cover you meds contact

the drug company. I think at this point in time they all have assistance

programs. I'd also talk to the pharmacy that you use, they can probably

tell you about part D.
