Best surgeon on the planet! I would trust him with anything he could ever say or recommend!

3 out of 5 Reviewed on 2025-11-06

To be honest, I felt like he had his opinion of what my treatment options should be and didn't really pay attention to my concerns about my ability to do some of the things he asked. For example, I wasn't sure if he was familiar with the fact that I was an oncology patient in Emory or not as when I mentioned my neuropathy from the chemo he asked if I was still in chemo, and I haven't been in chemo in about a year. Secondly, he kept telling me I had to lose wait and be under 400 lb before you would perform the surgery and didn't seem to pay attention or acknowledge or care about the fact that I've been trying to lose the weight naturally but because of being forced into menopause from the cancer and the amount of insulin I'm on daily, losing weight has been impossible which is why I am finally trying to go this route.
