Dr Thole is the Best.
Tara P. replied:
it depends on who you have the insurance with.... I have BCBS (Florida Blue) HMO plan and we go to Pediatric Healthcare Alliance - we see Dr. Tappan at the FH location. I guess it depends if your girls are pediatric or not, lol. Depending on the HMO plan with whatever provider you have you may or may not need to see primary 1 st. With mine we can see Dermatologist/Neurologist/Allergist with out having a referral....but they can't don't any procedures without authorization. But we can see any of them for just office visits.
Sandy F. replied:
My girls had Dr Lindsay Wiles but she isn't in this plan but her partners are I thought that was strange
