Hello All,

I have finished all of my requirements with the exception of 2 NUT visits. My doctor is Dr. Neff and is 2 hours away (he's amazing) however I'm really considering someone closer. I have called a ton of doctors out there and they all tell me they no longer are accepting Horizon NJ health or they just met their quota.

If anyone knows of a doctor in North or even Central NJ please advise.

Thanks,

P

I have an AMAZING surgical group if Princeton is ok with you?

Thank you but they're just as far.

Sorry I couldn't help... I would definitely check all of your local hospitals (ex: like mine) and see if the have a metabolic/bariatric program. Most hospitals do and the great thing about that is that hospitals except all insurances!!

What area is preferred or would you travel up to maximum?

Maybe try- RWJ St Barnabas http://www.barnabashealth.org/Specialty-Services/Weight-Loss/Why-Choose-Us.aspx

They have a very similar program as my hospital and should take your insurance plus an excellent hospital.

Thank you! I'm actually in jersey city. I called several hospitals, Hackensack hospital in Hackensack NJ and no doctor there take my insurance. I'm calling Montclair surgical associates on Monday. I have all of my clearances I just want someone closer
