I am so frustrated with Barix clinic in Langhorne right now. I feel like they don't care about me as a patient at all! They faxed my insurance information to a wrong number at my insurance company, never called to follow up about a peer to peer review, now they've missed the window for the review, and have to appeal... Oh AND they have not called me or my insurance company AT ALL to check in. If this is the kind of care I receive BEFORE I am even a patient.... I think I am going to go somewhere else! It sucks that I have to start all over again, but this is ridiculous!

Pennsylvania Hospital has been good for me.

Totally understand, I was very frustrated with Einstein Bariatrics. The office staff at the time honestly had no clue. When my insurance denied me the Dr. would not do a peer to peer. I hired Lindstrom Advocacy and honestly wanted to switch doctors. Although, I had read very positive things about my doctor and knew two other people that gave rave reviews (they both had issues with poor follow through in the office). Lindstrom Advocacy worked wonders and I won the appeal. I was advised not to switch doctors if I felt comfortable with his skills as he would be performing the surgery not the office staff. I did not switch and am thrilled with how well my surgery went.

Long story short. I honestly understand your frustration. The waiting, the lack of follow through, and care on the part of the office staff put me over the edge. I actually gained 20 pounds in a couple of months (I'm a nervous eater) and my nerves were shot.

Good Luck to you!

Update: they called me and got it straightened out. However, My appeal was denied. ☹️

So sorry you had bad experience. Barix clinics gave excellent service to me. My surgery was in Februaty. They gave excellent care. sometimes insurance companies can be an issue.

Also try Temple Hospital for their Bariatric Program.....they have informational sessions a few times a month......there are 3 surgeons in this group (I'm using Dr. Clarke-my cousin used her and has been very satisfied).....In addition to performing the surgery and having office visits at Temple, the surgeons also see people at Jeanes Hospital *Temple's # for the Bariatric Clinic is: 215-707-3471*

I went to barix in langhorne w/ my aunt who had RNY by Dr Marymore 8 yrs ago. Met w/ Dr Marymore. Loved him. Met w/ nut- said I had to do 6mths nut. The ins. Dept were rude and didn't provide correct info. So I went to Mercy Fitzgerald to Dr Ramachandra. THE BEST!!!! His staff@Fitzgerald Mercy &Mercy Phila are THE BEST!!!! They made all appts, took care all paperwork & 2mths later.RNY was done. They tell you ahead of time whats needed to get approved. They have monthly nutrition & support group meetings. Also, you can have 1:1w/ nut so you can get in req ahead of time. PAguy go somewhere else

Anyone have experience with Dr. Noel Williams @ Penn Medicine?

[Diana_in_Philly 1,426]

I didn't use Dr. Williams, but I can say that everyone I have interacted with in the system is great. The registered dietitians are amazing and I've been to the support group over at HUP as well. (My surgery was at Pennsylvania Hosp at 8th and Spruce). Best of luck!
