can you recommend a great surgeon in MD

Hi I'm new to the site and just learning about WLS, I went to a seminar this past Saturday and I'm definitely interested in WLS I would like to get the sleeve but I know is harder to get approve for that so I'm leaning towards the band.

Can someone recommend a surgeon in MD, I'm close to DC but I would preffer for my doc to be in MD.

Thanks in advance

I have had a great experience all around with Dr. Averbach. His website is www.mdlapbarisurge.com

My surgeon's name is Dr. Michael Schweitzer. He's at Johns Hopkins...they have 4 surgeons at the hospital. Their website is www.hopkinsbayview.org.

My surgeon is Dr. David von Rueden and I highly recommend him.  He's affiliated with St. Agnes but also performs operations at St. Joe's.  He also has a nutritionist, therapist, and exercise therapist on staff.  Also I've found his staff to be very friendly and extremely organized.  He's located in Catonsville right off of Rt 40.

I had Dr. Mark Kligman at University of MD in Baltimore.  Each of us have our own personal preference as far as surgeons.  For me, I highly recommend him.  He is strict, blunt and thorough.  Something that I needed and wanted.  I didn't want sugar-coated promises and missing information.  (not saying others are like this mind you)

And 5 Weinburg was excellent as far as my post-op care...I can't say enough about how wonderful the nurses are.

Noel, who is his NP is one of the most intelligent, educated and thorough nurses I have ever met.  And she makes herself available to you at any time.

No matter who you choose...do it with an open mind, check their crudentials and awards and enjoy the ride..it's a great journey!!

Dr. Kuldeep Singh at myliteweight.com St. Agnes Hospital EXCELLENT!!!!

 Dr. Singh at St Agnes hospital! Amazing!!

I also highly recommend Dr. Kligman and his staff.  Dr. Kligman is strict but I find him to have a wonderful bedside manner and a good sense of humor.   I saw another surgeon before I saw Dr. Kligman and I am so glad I did shop around.  Nicole and Mary B. (the nutrionist)  are super.  They really care about you. 

Hope this helps.
