I recently moved and it's so far to get to the Dr I used to see. But, when I started calling around NE Atlanta I was told they wouldn't take me on as a patient unless I was basically from out of state! Anyone heard of this? Does your Dr accept patients for just fills? I'm looking for a Dr in Fwinnett

i know every doctor is different. If you have a good relationship with your pervious physician maybe you could ask for a referral to this new doctor who is closer to you home. Some doctors are really funny about taking on WLS patients with out referrals. It is a shame there is not more trust within the medical field. Can you get your old physician to do a referral? You really do need an MD in your area and you need to know where to go for an emergency. Maybe look and see on the internet if there is a WLS Center of Excellance in your area. That would be my choice for looking for a physician and looking for follow up care. I live in Upstate of SC and I think the closet center of excellance to Georgia is Anderson County. I know they have a bariatric physican but I do not know how far that is from your area of NE Atlanta. Good luck.

Thanks maybe I will try that. A shame to be stuck with 1 doc if you aren't satisfied! Guess they don't wanna step on each other's toes either.

I have heard great things about Dr. Hart in the Johns Creek area(north Gwinnett area). My surgery is in Lagrange but I'm not in the Gwinnett area as well. I haven't had any luck finding local support groups or a local surgery that will take new already banded patients.

Dr. Titus Duncan... fills $150 will take patients that he didn't do the surgery.

O his location is downtown Atlanta across from Atlanta Medical Center and he has a North end location but I don't know the exact location. I love his staff!
