Anyone on here from Tennessee?

I chose Dr. Westmoreland because I had to be self pay and he had the best reviews and best price. I believe he is a surgeon at St. Thomas Rutherford but don't hold me to that. He does his self pay clients at Heritage Medical in Shelbyville. I LOVED everything about working with his team they were all fabulous from start to finish!!

I've had trouble communicating with Dr woodmans office. I leave messages and they don't call back. They submitted my paperwork Feb 16th without my sleep study report and my insurance was going to deny my Auth due to the fact thst y BP is controlled with meds. I have sent my sleep study report to Dr woodmans office 3 times and they still haven't refiled with my insurance. I left a message 2 days ago with them and still no call back. There's no way I can self pay. It's way too much $$$ I pray my insurance approves with the sleep study. My bmi is 37.1 high BP and mild sleep apnea on a cpap due to my o2 levels dropping to 89 while sleeping. I have UHC community plan. Any advise would be appreciated

I live in Memphis and Dr Woodman is a great doctor there is an additional fee of $500 for follow up. He is the best surgeon in Tennessee

How are you feeling?

Much better! Days 3 & 4 were awful but now I can get out of bed and off the couch with no pain. It only hurts to cough.
