Have you tried Dr. John Maguire yet? He is in Kettering, Ohio and I am pretty sure he does except SSI. They mentioned that few doctor do, and they would not for a while but they are taking patients with SSI and doing their best to work with them. Not a definite but never hurts to ask if you haven't already. He is listed in the surgeons page on this site. He is my surgeon and of course, I think he's great thus far.

You failed to mention if you are on Medicare or Medicaid. Try Dr Thomas Stellato at University Hospitals in Cleveland, Ohio. His phone number is: 1 216 844 3021 Good luck! Ask if they can work w/ you on this problem.
