I am researching doctors in the DFW area and I have to use a doctor on my insurance plan (Humana Medicare Advantage-HMO). I am 65 years old and have been overweight for many years. I filled out the paperwork for one bariatric doctor and had an appointment with him until his office called and said he was not on my insurance. The doctors on my insurance are: Philip Swanson M.D.(Southlake, Texas) Craig Ferrara D.O. (Ft. Worth, Texas) and I think Frank Venniga (Carrolton, Texas). Does anyone know about these doctors or have a recommendation. I see my PCP next week to start the process. Thanks.

You can research these surgeons on the website called: Healthgrades

Another way is to call your state

s medical licensing bureau to see if they ever had any issues...? (i.e. medical malpractice ?,etc..... you could ask to speak with former and present patients to see how everything went for them.....?All the best....for good health....
