Dr. Titus Duncan?
Well Im glad you liked him, and from what I hear I will like him to. I go today at 2:00 to pcp, I know I dont need a referral for the seminar. But to get a appt with him I need a referral per my insurance company. So hopefully today I will be getting that.
I know this road is going to be along journey, but it will be well worth it in the end. I can't wait to meet him, there questions I think about everyday, waiting to go to the seminar because im sure alot will be answered there.
Thank you everyone, for all the posts. I feel that he is a good Dr. and in my heart I feel like I have picked a great surgeon.
Thanks,
michelle
Well I heard wonderful things about him too and don't doubt that he is wonderful, but when I called his office they said he did not do the lap band which is what I want. Now, that could be because the people on the phone did not have a clue or just wanted me off the phone. as for Dr. Burrowes I heard wonderful things about him too but his staff was not very helpfull when I called. I'm very serious when it come to customer service and when it's dealing with my health. I don't doubt the Doctors but I hope you get better treatment then I did. From those few phone calls I made, I knew that was not who I wanted to deal with when I was stressed from my INS. , or even sick when ever I have my surgery. At any rate I chose another Dr. and just talking to the staff, the fact they returned phone calls and the wonderful things I heard about Dr. Steinberg I think I found the right one. Everybody sees and hears things differently, so maybe it was just me but I'm cancelling my appointment with Burrowes. But good luck to you and keep me posted.
Hello Michelle,
I saw Dr. Miller (Duncans associate) in june of 2002. My surgery was scheduled for may, but I had to reschedule do to a accident and its now on 12/12/03.
I have yet to meet Dr. Duncan, but I hear he is a good surgeon. I am a little peeved with Joyce the cordinator but it seems to be going smoothly.
I would like to know if he has had any mortalities resulting from WLS.

I had my consultation at Dr. Duncan's office, with Dr. Miller his asst in Dec 2002. Between all the "red tape" of insurance and their office, I finally had my surgery October 7th, 2003. Dr. Duncan was wonderful!! Today makes one month and one day since my surgery. At my 3 week check up I'd lost 25 lbs. I go back Nov 20th for my 6 week check up. If you have any questions, feel free to email me at [email protected].
I went to Dr. Duncan's seminar in the Oct.30th, and i think he is wonderful. Yes he is very skilled and very intelligent. I go to my consultation on Dec. 4th. I have bc/bs of ga ppo so I dont know how its going to be. My pcp has wrote a letter saying I'm medically cleared, and also put down all my failed diets. I see some people have no problems and then some do have problems. My BMi is 46.9, I'm waiting on my test results for my thyroid and dieabetes. So we will see, everyone keep your fingers cross for me. Also, thanks so much for the great responses.
