Ki H. Oh

"2 Year UPDATE: Spent 1.5 years as a patient of Dr. Oh's- complained about issues I was having sporatically, which Dr. Oh blamed on me (not chewing well enough, taking too big of bites, food stuck in band, etc) Was slowly starving (and becoming accustomed to eating almost nothing) but began waking up in the middle of the night choking on food eaten 12-14 hrs earlier; found new doctor in FL that discovered I was 75% full, rather than the 50% that was reflected in my med records from Dr. Oh, causing discomfort, irritation, and gastritis to return after almost 2 yrs post op.... THANK GOD I relocated and found a new doctor- Dr Oh is more concerned with churning people through his fat farm than treating patients individually- Aftercare is less than satisfactory and would have cost me a lot more to investigate as a self pay patient, had I stayed his patient. (as it is now, I've spent about $600 outside of insurance coverage to get treated)rnI am willing to provide more information regarding why I feel this doctor is not the best choice- contact me if you'd like it....rnORIGINAL Comments 2006rnDr. Oh is a no-nonsense, strict surgeon- this is one of the reasons I selected him. He has a strict aftercare program and does follow up blood work quarterly for the year following surgery. rnIf you are looking for coddling, emotional support, or a doctor to stroke you along the way, this is not the doctor for you. I viewed him as a means to an end; he will provide you with information when you ask for it pointedly, but doesn't volunteer a lot. If you are still in the \"info seeking\" phase, I would strongly advise that you go to multiple orientations- from several different doctors, because had I only gone to Dr. Oh's, I believe I would have missed out on some info. rnI would still choose him as my surgeon, but he is somewhat impersonal."

"The only complaint I have was the length of time I had to wait from check in time to surgery time- and that they didn't give me any idea of how long the wait would be (over 10 hours!) Everything else was very good!"
