Question

Absolutely!  We are all here to supoprt you!  Post as often as you need!

I agree with both of the above responses with regard to Ranessa.  I called her on a Friday and she was able to see me the following Tuesday. She's very pleasant. I called one of the doctor's on the list provided by my doctor the first week in March, talked to receptionist and was told they'd get back to me.  Well after a day or so, I called Ranessa.  The first doctor actually called me back this past Wednesday!!   Needless to say, I told them that I've seen someone else.  Not very good patient service if you ask me.  Good Luck C

Okie dokie so 3 votes for Ranessa.  She sounds great!  I will definitely have to look into see how much it will cost me to see her. 

If you have Aetna it will only cost you your co payment to see Ranessa!!  She is awesome and very caring. Dr Von Reuden & Dr Moein were in the same practice but Dr Von Reuden moved to St. Agnes hospital. He did my surgery and he is an awesome surgeon. Dr Moein is awesome too! I woukd get all the test scheduled now so everything goes smoothly. Sometimes you can't get your tests scheduled right away. Good luck and best wishes on your journey.

Yup I have Aetna, but I just couldn't find here under my doctor list.  But I'm glad she take Aetna  As for scheduling the appointments, I think what I might do is call the offices that I most likely will have to visit and see how far out they are scheduleing their appointments.  As you said, so everything goes smoothly, but I also don't want the tests to be out dated.  Thanks for responding.

I have Aetna HMO and I only paid a 10 dollar copay to see her. If you do the 3 month multidiciplinary program your tests will not be out dated. It takes 6 months to get out dated. You are very welcome! 

hmmmmmmmmmmmm u have a good copay.  All my Copays are $30 for a specialis and $20 for my PCP.  ***I see your in Odenton, thats practically in walking distance to me.  My gym membership is Premier Fitness by Superfresh.  

We used to pay 20 fpr specialist but now it is 10 for specialit and all.   I live by forte Meade base by Duncun Donuts not far of a driving distance to where the fitness place is at accross from McDonalds right?

Yup, thats the one. I used to pay lower copays but I switched my plan.  As for where you live, I know exactly where the Duncun Donuts is by Ft. Meade.  I actually work on Ft. Meade.  I love living so close to my job.  Its great, no traffic in the morning....lol

Here, here for Ranessa!!!  I JUST LOVE HER!!  In fact, I've often told her that talking with her is like being with my girlfriends - except I have to pay her and she doesn't pour me wine!!!!  LOL!!! She is a gem!!!  And, more importantly, GETS us!!! Personally, I'd wait until your first appt. to see what tests your surgeon actually wants and go from there.  I have to be honest, I didn't have any problems getting in to see anyone, and if you do, maybe the surgeon's office would be willing to run interference for you.  AND, THIS IS IMPORTANT - Make sure if your surgeon's office gives you a suggested list, that those on that list take your insurance - you don't want any nasty "You owe us....." surprises! Good luck. Tia
