"This is my second go round trying to get approved for WLS. I tried late last year and was not successful since UHC and my previous employer had an exclusion on the policy. Needless to say my employment there was terminated on my part because just to save a few dollars they don't meet the needs of their employees, so what's the point of having and paying for benefits if what you REALLY need isn't covered???? My new employer DOES cover WLS but unfortunately not with my previous choice of Dr. Wongsa.
I decided to consult with Dr. Carlos Ferrari and my husband and I both met met with him in March and were very happy we did. He was a very nice man and I really felt comfortable around him and his staff. Luly and Blanca are awesome and they are very caring, sensitive, and understanding about WLS issues. They all worked very closely together and put my worries at ease.We really didn't discuss too much about aftercare since I felt like we would talk about that at my next pre-op visit. His office was full of patients and I really enjoyed seeing all his patients at different stages of their journies. I definitely recommend Dr. Ferrari from what I have experienced so far. If I get approved I have to make a promise to all to keep my profile updated to a TEE!!!! I rate him a 10!"
