Bariatric familiar doctors in Montgomery County
I am almost 10 years post op and I have had a few things occur that some doctors have no clue ( and I found the answer after a few minutes by researching medical sites). I am looking for a doctor who is familiar with Gastric Bypass and issues that can arise afterwards. Right now I am looking for an internal medicine practitioner and an endocrinologist. Thank you.
If you're looking for a PCP, I like my internist a lot: Dr Piyush Patel. He's got 2 offices, one in Germantown and another in Silver Spring. Not a specialist in WLS, just a really good MD who listens!
First ultra: Stone Mill 50 miler 11/15/14 13:44:38, First Full Marathon: Marine Corps 10/27/13 4:57:11, Half Marathon PR 2:04:43 at Shamrock VA Beach Half-Marathon, 12/2/12 First Half-Marathon 2:32:47, 5K PR Run Under the Lights 5K 27:23 on 11/23/13, 10K PR 52:53 Pike's Peek 10K 4/21/13, (1st timed run) Accumen 8K 51:09 10/14/12.
I am just about 10 years out and have started having issues as well. I have been working with a really "brilliant" GI at Washington Hospital Center, but his bedside manner is HORRIBLE! If it weren't for his expertise I would not stay, BUT if you seeking answers (specifically vitamins, blood levels of vitamins, bacteria) he is your guy. His name is Dr. Koch. I also was an endorinologist at WHC who was great too, Jason Wexler. Hope that helps a little!
