Tica, Hey it's Kristin. I have the number two psychiatrists in the Largo/Seminole area that are surgery friendly. The first is a psychiatrist that almost always approves the surgery and is in the same development as Dr. Haicken. The second is the psychiatrist that I used. The bad thing is he requires some personality testing. $75 dollars to take it (I took it home, did it, returned the next day, got on the cancellation list and then saw him in less than a week)...It was worth the $75. Ashok Patel MD- (727)-518-6444 Robert Pensa MD- (727)-391-7104 Good luck, keep me poste. By the way I got approved by Cigna in 6 days. I scheduled surgery for after my vacation. My date is Sept 17!
