Dr

[Guest guest]

probably gets her information because his email address is bilroth@... . It is assuming quite a bit though doncha think???

Dr is a general surgeon who specializes in Bariatric Treatments. I think he studied all kinds of bariatric surgery and that is to be applauded not condemned. I wish a lot of bariatric surgeons would do that. They can then make informed decisions regarding which kind is the best. So many surgeons hang their hats on the RNY and refuse to look at other options. I think that a surgeon that does colon cancer surgery and colorectal surgery could splice intestines together.

He performs the following types of surgery :

Open Roux en Y gastric bypassLaparoscopic RNYOpen Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch

General Surgery:

Gall Bladder and Management of Common Duct Stone

Diagnostic Laparoscopy

Appendectomy

Splenectomy

Nissen Fundoplication

Hernia Repair

Colon

Colorectal Cancer

Breast Lump/Mass

Thyroid and Parathyroid Procedures

Pancreatic Cancer/Pancreatitis

It certainly looks to me like he knows his way around the insides of the body. He has no censures on his license. No warnings or administrative fines.

If you are happy with Dr and you have done the research about your doctor listen with your heart and your mind.

My advice to anyone researching their doctor is to check out their license. Check out the Board of Health to find out how many deaths have been attributed to his care and above all ask the doctor yourself and then compare what you are told with the facts you have gathered.

Good luck!
