Anyone know of a band doctor that accepts medicaid?? I've finally made the decision to have the surgery now it seems that all the doctors Ive researched won't take it any more. Talk about a bummer. Any info would be appreciated.

Wow.. I think that list of who accepts medicaid/public aid has shrunk. You can check our Mount Sinai. Dr. Sachin Kukreja is taking medicaid for the band and adjustments. 773-257-2020.
