I am currently in the process of pursuing a gastric sleeve, and I got so mad at the girl who answers the phone at the office of the doctor that I was thinking of using, that I was hoping others here could recommend other surgeons. 

Thanks! :)

I have been very satisfied with Dr. Macik and with his office staff.  His nurse, Robin, is fabulous and is a really great resource.

I used Dr William Johnson in John's Creek. 

I was very pleased with him and his office staff.

I have been extremely satisfied with Dr. Dennis Smith in Marietta (770) 919-7050

He is a quiet sort of man but  is very skilled in the various Bariatric Surgeries.  I have not had any complications at all and am almost 17 months out from VSG.

I love the office staff at Dr. William Johnson's practice.  I also have been very happy with Emory Johns Creek where I had my RNY, one ER visit (which they immediately worked with his practice to ensure all tests were gastric bypass friendly) and one gall bladder removal.
