Need new PCP in Raleigh, NC - two post DS patients

[Guest guest]

Hello, all -

We just got notice that our insurance plan is being changed at work

effective July 1st, from One Health to United Healthcare Options PPO.

We used to have UHC about a year ago - in fact, both my husband and I

got our DS surgeries under UHC. We're very happy about the change

because UHC is (generally) better insurance than One Health and also

has a reputation of approving payment for TT's after WLS. I am 16

months out from my DS and is 6 months.

The only down side is that our PCP no longer is in network with UHC

and we will have to change doctors. Dr. Myatt has been wonderful

about ordering any and all testing we need with no argument.

Bloodwork, a DEXA bone scan, a followup sleep study, all of our preop

work, you name it, she's ordered it without batting an eye. She's

been very supportive of everything related to our WLS.

Does anyone have a recommendation of a good PCP for two post-DS

patients? Ideally, he or she would be knowledgeable about the DS,

very supportive about after care requirements and willing to work

with us on getting approval later next year for TT's and other

reconstructive surgery, etc. We are willing to go to someone anywhere

in Raleigh, Cary, etc. For just the right doctor, we would also

consider going to Durham or Chapel Hill, too.

Thank you!
