Re: Want to hear from patients of Dr s of PA

[Guest guest]

Hi Doris,

Dr s did my surgery on July 24. He operates out of CMC in

Scranton, Pa. He is truly amazing a very kind and caring man who

doesnt act like most surgeons. His practice consists of Dr s and

his wife Robbie. His website in www.cutweight.org the phone numbers

listed there are not currebt as far as I can tell, his current number

is . The first time I called him he answers the phone

himself. I have only ever had a service pickup once. He is a D.O a

member of A.B.A. F.A.C.S. This is from the websites homepage.

Early in my life I recognized the general distress of the obese

individual. It was very noticeable how overweight children were

treated differently and not as well as so-called normal weight

children. As I got older I began to recognize that they also had

physical limitations. Going through medical school the physical

social and economic plight of these individuals became very concrete

in my mind. My first memories of bariatric surgery are of the old to

jejuno-ileal bypass, which we stopped doing in the first year of my

surgical training. It was to my very great disappointment that we had

no good way of treating those patients. The very wonderful news is

modern bariatric surgery.

We have been able to vastly improve the lives of so many

individuals that I believe that this discipline alone has made my

medical and surgical training worthwhile. I do not believe that any

doctor can do any greater good for any patient then to release them

from the bonds of morbid obesity in every aspect of their life, to

cure them from some current diseases that they might have, and to

prevent some very horrible and inevitable complications of a disease

that I believe may be the worst disease in modern American society.

I have been working constantly toward the distribution of

information and the execution of a service to patients who recognize

the benefit of what we're doing. There is no greater gratification

for me then to hear from the many patients who say " doctor thank you

for giving me back my life. " My intent is to continue to make

available these services and to constantly make improvements in the

communication, operative care, peri-operative care, and education of

these patients who deserve a much better situation than nature

has given them.

In my opinion you could not find a more competent,

compassionate,humane and professional surgeon anywhere. If you have

any onther questions feel free to call him. He operates Mon,Tues, and

Wed. mornings. Or feel free to email me BristolGeo@.... Or

another patient of his that I keep in contact is Diane her email is

Realitynorwich@....

Good luck in your search.
