If your doctor does multi-level but can't be bothered to write a letter, try contacting the hospital in which he operates and ask them if other doctors also perform that surgery.
Just a couple of suggestions, Good luck, Dale

Dale, you are brilliant! Thank you ever so much. That is such an obvious solution, and it evaded me for such a long time. I'll blame it on the meds 
I will contact both the manufacturer and the hospital where he works. Thanks again.
