Dr Bobby is really located in Palms Springs, CA

You want a Doctor who will actual sit down and talks to you.
You want a Doctor who has a whole team ready to help you (scheduling - insurance approval - nutrition)

Then go see Dr. Bobby !!!

He's the greatest !!!!

Hi, I want to see if maybe someone could assist me with something. I went to Dr. Bobby's seminar back in the spring and was all for everything he said and I really think that he would be an awesome doctor to do the surgery that I need done, BUT..at the end of the seminar he said that up front they would have to have $6 to $8 thousand dollars out of pocket??>.I am just wondering if I heard this right?? I have Triwest insurance and am approved by them to have the surgery because of my BMI and diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol problems..but if I have to come up with that much money up front I am not going to be able to do the surgery and then what's next???...please if someone can help me with this and hopefully tell me that I heard it wrong..thanks for your time.

Yes Kathryn
Dr Bobby has a big program fee - but you never have to pay for any co-pays or fills for 5 yrs (that's what I was told)

IMHO it's his way around what the insurance companies pays and he also gives you the food for the preop diet in that program fee..

He has a nutristion on staff and you visit with her everytime you go in - Dr Bobby does your fills not an assistant - and he sits and talks to you and listens - it's not just a 5 minutes in and out with him....

I LOVE DR BOBBY - he is worth every extra penny that you have to pay... You can get care credit to pay the program fee (loan) ...

Also for me having a local doctor was very important... You get his cell # incase you have any problems you have 24/7 access to him personally...

There are other doc's out there who don't charge the program fee - Dr Philllip Q somthing - he's in LA and I didn't want to travel that far to get fills and ck ups as that would be a whole day off of work..

Again you can get a loan thru the Care Credit (I think that's the name) and what isn't paid by insurance is tax deductible too

Again like I said Dr Bobby is worth his weight in GOLD AND EVERY PENNY WAS WORTH IT...

Good Luck - Talk to them - They will help you figure out a way..
