Ask. And Receive..: The direct approach is best. Call your surgeon, explain your issues and listen to his recommendations. He may be able to refer you to a specialist in your area. If this is not fruitful, then call your insurance company for a list of providers in your area. HealthTap may have providers located in your new location. It is important to try to stay within the bounds of your insurance guidelines.
