If you have Medicaid, consult the 800 number on your ID card or your PCP.  If you don't have Medicaid, apply at Dept of Health and Human Services Office nearest you.  Also, for life threatening illness, go to Ben Taub or LBJ Hospital emergency room.

I don't live in the area, but your phone book should be a start if you have nothing else to go on.  It is better to have references, though.  You may want to contact your local hospital to direct you.  Good luck and God bless.

Contact your local or state dental association and and see if there are any dentists who provide free or reduced cost care for low-income, disabled or senior patients.\n\nCall your local health department and ask about health centers that provide dental care for free or on a sliding scale.\n\nYour local United Way may also be aware of such a clinic.  In some areas, you can reach them now by dialing 2-1-1 for "non-emergency information."\n\nGo to a dental school, if there is one near you, for reduced costs.\n\nCheck http://www.toothwoman.net to see if low-cost or free dental services are available near you.\n\nCheck http://bphc.hrsa.gov and choose "Find a Health Center" to see if there is a low-cost clinic near you.\n\nCheck http://www.nfdh.org/DDS.html to see if your state has a "Donated Dental Services" program.  D.D.S. is designed to locate dentists who will give free care to patients who are financially compromised due to medical problems.  This is a process that will take a couple of months to get your information and then arrange for someone to see you.  Not all states have D.D.S. programs.

Here is a link to The Texas Department of Health.  It lists several programs and contact information.  There's a good likelihood you are eligible under a Medicaid Waiver program which could help you with some inhome care for your child.  Try the hotline:\nhttp://archive.tdh.state.tx.us/legacytdh/cshcn/Guide2.htm

I have a friend who has a shunt in her head, but, she received it from the medical center in Houston, Tx. I don't know where you are from but Houston is excellent with doctors who perform great surgeries. If you need his name, email me at mysticmoonprincess01@yahoo.com and I will get the doctor's name for you.

you could start with the UT houston ortho dept or look for private back clinics, you will end up talking to many to know about their experiences, but back clinics would be a good start too, remember not all ortho people do the backs, good luck

First off, he needs to see a different doctor. You might check with a local free clinic to see what they would recommend. You don't say where you live, but here in Dallas we have a county hospital that takes lower income patients without any insurance plans.\n\nMy prayers are with you.

You need to contact your local Health Unit and they should be able to give you numbers for free clinics in your area.

I understand your problem. My husband was put in the hospital last year and had emergency surgery and I had past hips surgeys and they won't even give us insurance. I started researching some stuff and found a great site that offers health benefits. It's not insurance but you can save up to 80% on dental and medical benefits and you get free prescription, Free chiropractic and free vision. Best of all it's no more than $60.00 dollars a month for the entire household. That site below will offer and show you have to obtain benefits. \n\nGood luck and I am sorry we all have to deal with the goverment doing this to our families.

Make an appointment with a colorectal surgeon at a university hospital in your state - Kansas has a few. For chronic medical problems your local doctor may not be the best person to talk with.
