frequently asked questions

I have already been approved for surgery by my insurance company, but the surgeon I was considering has a long waiting list. Do surgeons on the Highland Medical Staff have waiting lists for patients who qualify for weight loss surgery?

Dr. Thomas attempts to accommodate his patients, whenever possible. Generally, the longest wait is for a response from the insurance company.
