I live in Fort Wayne and they have been advertising for the last week. I was wondering were St Rita's was because they don't say on the tv. When I see it again I will send you the phone number.

Hi Danielle, I live in Cincinnati and while I don't know about St. Rita's, I do know there are two surgeons fairly close to you. There is Dr. Maquire who is in Kettering (I think) and my surgeon, Dr. Fallang (also his associate, Dr. Todd Martin) located in Middletown. Look under "find a doc" at the top of any page and follow the links to their section. When I was researching, I found those pages very helpful. Shelley -123 1/8/01. Shelley
