Dr. Daniel Grant / Dr Babak Omeinolmolki feedback info

Hi new to this board     Hoping you all would have some info or feedback on these two Dr.'s that are covered under our insurance.  Thanks

Hi & welcome!  I had Dr. Moeinolmolki for my RNY in March 2008.  He is a great surgeon, in my opinion.  Very down to earth and easy to talk to, ask questions, etc.  GBMC is a wonderful facility.  The nurses weren't the greatest when I was in there, but I just made sure I did what I needed to do, and didn't rely on them for much.  You'll have to pay a program fee, but I think most surgeons have that these days... it's a fee that is usually not covered by your insurance.  Small price to pay though, really, if your surgery is fully covered.  And in the scheme of things, it's a small price to pay for a HEALTHIER you in the long run.  Dr. Moein has asked me to speak at a few of his pre-op informational seminars, and I always encourage patients in there to follow through with getting some sort of weight loss surgery, as it is a great tool to improve your life in so many ways.

Do you have any specific questions you're looking to get answered???

Right now we are getting the ball rolling for my husband.  He has been trying to lose weight for several years now between dieting, the gym, spin classes, etc... and has only managed to lose 40lbs.  He has an appointment with our Primary Care Dr today and is hopefully going to get a referral for the surgery. 

How much is the program fee?  About how long did it take you from start to finish to have your procedure?  Any complications? 

Hi Sarah.  Welcome to the board.  I LOVE Dr. Moein.  So much so, in fact, that I have referred several people to him.  He is kind, thorough, patient and his staff is settled in well.  The CRNP, Kate Flowers (yes she's married to Dr. Flowers) is AWESOME too.  She does my band adjustments.

Can't go wrong with him.

Just had my procedure with Dr.Liao at GBMC.  Wanted to let you know that they no longer have the $500 program fee :)

Awesome guys, thanks for all the info!  Good to hear there is no longer the $500 fee   

Yea, there is no more program fee. Dr Moen is doing my surgery on Wednesday and I'm very comfortable with him rearranging my insides. GBMC is a great, very comfortable facility that I'm very familiar with so that did play some part in me deciding where I wanted to go. So do your research and make the right decision for you (or him in your case). The recommendations from Dr. Moen's OH page really tipped me in the right direction.

I <3 Dr Moen!

He's doing my surgery a week from today :)

he's very easy to work with, and his staff is the best.
I'm really a fan of all of his staff...they've all been super helpful the last 6 months.
Quick to return calls, answer questions, etc.
