Boise Doctors

I have a friend who lives near boise who is looking into having the rny done.  I had mine done in florida 4 years ago.  Can anyone tell me who would be a good doctor?  I want to get her to the best surgeon.  I looked at Dr. Oakley, and Dr. Korn.  Is there anyone else I should look at?  Who do you think is better?  I don't think I care about bed side manner, I just want the best surgeon.  Like, who has the less casualities, etc....  I had alot of complications after my surgery, and I don't want it to happen to her.

Hi, Doctor Korn did my surgery 4 years ago. He is a good doctor and his office staff is wonderful. Much success to your friend on her journey.

Thank you.  I will let my friend know the information.

Dr Korn did my wife's and mine also and he's tops in my book!

I had Dr. Oakley. He is wonderful and very knowledgable. He is awesome!

My friend recommended Dr. Bryan Anderson. :)

She is one of his star patients and so wonderfully healthy.

I appreciate this thread, however, because I am at the very tip top of my journey, haven't seen anyone yet!

Dr. Korn is my surgeon of choice!!  His bedside manner is awesome, he covers all the bases, answers any question you might have, I have called his office after surgery with some pretty dumb questions but his staff is really patient and they are so good about getting back to me!  I follow up with him every 3 months, my progress (which I thought was slow)  he says, is right on schedule.  He is a stickler for exercise and pretty much requires that you see a nutritionist regularly.  Since my insurance doesn't cover this, I'm afraid I'm not going as often now ($85 per visit) but I am 8 months out and feelin great!  Have gone from size 20/22 to a size 10!  Yup!!!  I'm a happy girl!!

I had surgery with Dr Oakley in March of 2008 and loved him and his office. They are all great and i have done great. Best luck to your friend. If anything she can have a meeting with multiple Drs in the area to see who fits her needs best as well.

It depends on what type of surgery your friend is having.  Dr. Cahn & Dr. Anderson do not do the RNY.  They only do lap band.  I would think that Dr. Oakley, who is also very proficient in the DS surgery, would definitely do a great job.  I've also heard Dr. Korn is very good.
