Seeking Primare Care Physician in NJ
permalink
All,

I'm hoping for a PCP recommendation in northern NJ area. I've spoken with a few drs (just to get a physical) and they were hesitant to take me because I have a band). I've explained that I"m not looking for a surgeon, just a regular doctor with some basic knowledge of the life of a bandster but i've been unsuccessful.

Anyone love their PCP and can recommend?

I live in Hoboken...I'll have to see how far Madison is from that area since i'm pretty new to NJ. I got a suggestion from Alexandra but he would not take me because someone else did my band.

I have a great one, but she is closer to Central Jersey. I will ask around for you though

That doesn't make any sense, Gypj. You were looking for a PCP, right? Not a surgeon? What kind of care are you trying to get?

In any event, if you live in Hoboken it'd be easier for you to get to the city than to Montville or Madison. You're MILES away from Morris County!!

I'm sorry that you're having so much trouble finding a PCP in NJ. I would recomend visiting the following website and contacting one of the bariatric surgeons listed and inquire with them as to a LAP-BAND® friendly/knowledgeable PCP.

http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobe...+Lap+Band.html

I would recommend my former PCP in the Lawrenceville/Princeton area but I know that's too far for you to travel. By the way, her name is Dr. Shari Diamond. She's a great PCP and was the one that diagnosed me with PCOS about 6 years ago.

Good luck!
