Okay so how do you find a doctor in-network??? I have been getting quoted that out of pocket expenses will be between 4500-6000 from different people. I live in Orange county and am looking for a GOOD doctor who will not gauge me for out of pocket expenses and pretty much just take what my insurance is willing to give. I have a PPO Anthem Blue Cross. Thanks!@

I would also like to know your experience from start to now with Dr. Naimi. Specifically, how does he work the out of pocket expense if your insurance does not cover all of it but most?

Hi, Can you tell me about your experience with Dr. Oliak? Did you use insurance? If so, what was your out of pocket expense? How long did it take from first phone call to acutal surgery? thanks!

Any information would be greatly appreciated. I am just starting my journey to lap band surgery and would like to know the following: Has anyone used Beverly Hills Physicians (that is the group name)? If your insurance gave you authorization, how much was the out of pocket expense and do they work with you on that? From start to actual surgery, how long is the process? I really appreciate any insight you may have. Thanks so much
