GBMC?

 Hi All,

I'm new to the boards and was wondering if anyone has any feedback on the program at GBMC?


Thanks and Happy Holidays!!

Welcome to the Maryland Board, Erica!!!

I had my surgery at GBMC in 2005, with Dr. David von Rueden, who's now at St. Agnes, so unfortunately, I can't give you any feedback on the current program.

I will tell you that in my eyes, DVR is a God!!  LOL!!  I just love that man!  And the care I received at GBMC, which has its own bariatric unit, was top-notch.

I'm sure someone will chime in and give you info on the current program.

Good luck and Happy Holidays,

Tia

I had my surgery there with Dr. Roe, last year. As far as I'm concerned it's a good program. I went through Baltimore Bariatrics with Dr. Roe. What Dr are you seeing?

hello!


i had my rny on 10/8/09, and my doc is dr. liao (he did my procedure). the program is absolutely amazing! dr. liao, his partner dr. moe, the nurse practicioner kate, nurse nick, the nut, all are top notch!
they treat you like your thier only patient, take care of all the insurance stuff, and all is good!


if you choose them you will not be disappointed.

my 2 cents, hope it helps!

Welcome to the boards Erica!
I did not have my WLS @ GBMC, but I have been there many times. Most of my other Doc's are there, plus 3yrs ago I was in their ICU, and I can't say enough. I personally feel that they don't come much better than GBMC!  Good Luck and keep posting!  Happy Holidays, Leslie:)

I really liked their presentation that Dr. Liao did but I met with Dr. Moen for a consultation I didn't get a warm, happy vibe from him.  I wouldn't discount the program, I'm just shopping other places too though to make sure that I am comfortable with the surgeon performing the procedure.  

I did like that GBMC manages the insurance portion of it for the patient, but, I'm a benefits coordinator for work so for me, it's not really something that I need to pay for.  GBMC charges you $500 for their program fee too but that includes the nutirtionist and it's a 6 month program, I believe.

Dr.Lioa did my surgery in aug.09. He is a good doctor and cares. His staff is great as well,I have nothing but good things to say about him and Kate.

I had my surgery there in January with Dr. Roe... I felt very comfortable and the nurses and techs were all very nice.  I did my program through Baltimore Bariatrics, though. 

I just had surgery on Fri at GBMC.  Dr. Liao performed the surgery- lap band.
I was very pleased.  I was unsure of the $500 fee.  Do other providers charge it?  I went w/ GBMC b/c it was the only program covered by my insurance.  But, I was very pleased.

Welcome Erica!  Dr. Moein has been my doc for over two years.  My husband and I LOVE him! 

Feel free to PM me if you have any specific questions.  Best of luck on your journey.
