"Dr Mast saved my life! I had a failed ventral hernia surgery that left me with an abdomin that looked like I was pregnant with tripletts and navel pointing to the floor. He removed skin and fat, resectioned by abdomin, put the small intesines back in the abdominal sack, removed 3 liters of fluid and repaired the hernia. Sept 08"
"Dr Calhoun has been treating obese patients since 1978 & is a member of the board of Bariatrics. He was thorough & direct, which I personnally like. "
"On my first visit Dr. Gordon was compassionate & spent listening to history.
The staff is cooperative & friendly.
I have not finished my consults with the cardiologist or pulmonologist. Therefore, I have not seen Dr. Gordon for the surgical go ahead.
12/14 I was preapproved for surgery with the physician in the office who was certified with my insurance but before surgery he retired. I began to search again for a surgeon via internet & insurance.
1/11 I met with Dr Case, I found him to be very knowledgeable & committed to his patients future success. He asked questions that I had not heard in my previous surgery consult. He was very firm about what the patients role was. A comment that stuck with me was, "the surgery is a total of 3.5 hours, which is a small portion of the overall success of the weight loss." He was more interested not in just the surgical procedure ($) but what was my ability for long term success. I was referred to a Bariatric psychiatrist & nutritionist, in whom Dr Case had confidence in their evaluations.
I would rate him a 10. "
