Tell me about Dr. Roller

Hey everyone,

I'm looking at Dr. in Springdale for a Sleeve.  Tell me about him...

Ummmmm HE ROCKS! Seriously...he does. He is the only bariatric surgeon in Arkansas that was fellowship trained(if my memory serves me well). Some people will try to scare you away because he is "new". The man is a damn good surgeon though. He has done surgery on 2 people from his own team so they obviously trust him. We trust Dr.Roller so much that he has done both mine and my husband's GB. He passed "Nurse Barbara's" inspection(that would be my grandmother who is a retired nurse...she was VERY good at what she did and requested to speak to him by herself before I commit to anything...she loves him). They are not a Center of Excellence yet, but are in the process.

I'm not sure what all you want to know, but you must go to a seminar first. The dates and times are available on his website. From there, you can make an appointment to see them. They will help you decide what is best for you(if you need help) and they can answer all of your questions. Beth is the coordinator and a very busy woman, but when we have had issues in the past, she always gets everything taken care of.

If you are a self pay, things can move pretty quickly. My surgery went through insurance and it still moved very quickly.

Anne, the NUT, has received rewards for her work. She is a doll and I prefer her. That is all I will say about that!

Bad things....wait times(as goes with EVERY.SINGLE.DOCTOR I have ever been to), changing faces (I think the team adds a new person every time I go in...this is due to their rapid growth)

What else....I'm drawing a blank. The support group is growing like crazy. Sometimes it's beneficial for me, sometimes not, but it was always good for me in the beginning. I go whether I think I am interested in the topic or not because I have met some wonderful friends there.

 Thanks for telling me about Dr. Roller.  I went to his seminar and have an appointment for this next Friday.  Hopefully,  I will have surgery before the new year.

Dr. Roller did my RNY.  He is wonderful.  The surgery was a lap and it was a breeze.  No complications whatsoever.  His office team is wonderful and any time you have questions, they are very helpful.  The hospital staff were great too.  I highly recommend him.  His follow-up care is excellent also.

i also had Dr. Roller. I highly reccomend him. He is wonderful and truly knows his stuff. His staff are wonderfull also and answer all questions and nothing is a stupid question. I will be a year out in Nov and have had no problems at all.
Not sure what spacific you want to know. You can PM me and I will be happy to answer all you questions.
I say if your considering him it would be a very wise decision.

He has a free seminar tonight in Fort Smith at the Holiday Inn. no pressure, just go and listen.

ps I go to his support groups and he is awesome and so is his staff, the office is awesome!

I had Dr Roller for a sleeve last February.  He is great.  I like both the Registered Dieticians.  You will be happy with his team.  I've lost 109 since last Jan.
Good Luck
