Call your local hospital and talk to the OB nurses.  They will know who in your area does them.

A lot more do NOT do them now because of the risks. It seems like I am getting denied everywhere.

A lot of docs do them now . . . just call your local OB . . . they might.  VBAC has the increased risk of uterine rupture during contractions, but a lot of people get through, safely.  It also will cost you more and an HMO might fight you.
