"I havent't been approved for surgery yet.
My first two visits with Dr. Alverdy and his
staff were very promising. Pat and Kim were
great as well as the nutrionist and
psychologist(sorry I don't remember their
names). Dr. Alverdy was very kind and was
genuinely caring. However, I was extremely
disappointed after I was denied approval by
my primary and secondary insurance companies.
I called Pat and asked if there was more
that they could do--help with the appeal, etc.
I was informed that they had done all they
could do. After reading posts on this site
and the OSSG sites, where the doctors further
pursued approval, I was left feeling all alone
in my battle."
