I am in Santa Barbara, and looking for doctors, hopefully ones who will take my Blue Cross PPO. Has anyone used any of the following? Dr Milton Owens, Dr Jeremy Korman, Dr Kai Nishi, Dr Michael Feiz, or Dr Criangle? Appreciate any feedback or other suggestions.

HI - Dr. Criangle is in Northern California area. If you go onto the NoCal support group website I know several people on this site have used him. I understand he is very experienced but does not always have a warm fuzzy feeling - aka not a very good bedside manner.

I do not know of any of the other doctors. Suggest you find someone who has a great after support group for free. If you are looking for a surgeon, I highly recommend mine. The New Program has an office in Bevery Hills also.

Good luck in your search!

I actually decided on Dr. Braverman at the New Program and I see that you sent through the same company. What has your experience been with them?

Wow - he was not even on your list. I had my surgery with Dr. Quebbemann, his partner. You are going to be happy. If you ever want to meet up at a TNP support group, let me know. Couple of us on here have used TNP for surgery and I can send a private message with their screen names. One lady is going in next month for her sleeve with Dr. B, I think.

Feel free to contact me if you ever have questions. I love my sleeve!
