DR PRICE

ANYONE DELT WITH HIM OR HIS OFFICE>

I personally have not.  My PCP recommended him for my gall bladder surgery a couple yrs ago, but they were scheduling his appts 6-8 wks out & I couldn't wait that long. My sister is a nurse at Mt Carmel & says she'd recommend him for the RNY & Dr Choban (in his practice) for  the Lapband. Not sure if this helps.  Good Luck on you search for info!

Thanks my PCP also recommended him because he take my insurance. I am afriad I am going to need a mass removed out of my intestions.  I am currently working with Dr Bruce, but he said at semiar he does not like to do gallblader at the smae time as he does WLS, so I am afarid he will not take the mass out at the same time. I do not want two suregeries. I am unsure if the mass will have to come out, but it is possible. I go to a specilaist Weds to find out what they think!!!

Ol my goodness, I just tried to call thier office and the lady was extremly rude!!  I will not even be considering them!! They really upset me. I was talked to like I was a dog!!!

I went through them and it's sad because their office is a joke. I had Dr. Choban and she was the best!! The office staff needs a fresh overhaul!! I would get rid of about 95% of them for sure. That was the biggest hassle was getting around the office!! Charlene that works there has a horrible attitude and is bothered by you calling to get info?? Sorry you had a bad experience. I will say for sure that you are in good hands though if you do go through them. Dr. Price assisted Dr. Choban in my surgery and they both were great!! Melissa Webb is great too, she is the person in charge of the program for Mt. Carmel. Good lUck!

That is awful!  You will notice I am not planning on going with them.  My problem was also due to their office staff.  Yet I understand they are great surgeons and I know of a few people that have not had any problems with their staff.  I had lots of problems finding a good WLSurgeon/Program in Columbus (many wanted fees/tests etc before I could even ask any basic questions) thus decided it would be worth the trip to Cinci to Dr Curry.  He has answered my emailed questions quickly.  His staff are always kind & helpful yet it seems they may be overworked (don't always answer timely if at all, yet sometomes they do).  But I feel comfy that they will give the best care.  I don't think many Dr's like to remove the gallbladder at the same time as placing a band. Apparently there is an increased chance of infection.  They do however do hernia repairs thus you'd have to check with your potential surgeon regarding the growths. Good Luck!

I am just going to wait and see, I guess. I will find more out what is actually going on when I go see the gastro doctor tomorrow!! I really like my suregon, so I am hoping we can work through this.

 

Thankful my galbladder is gone, so that is one less worry!!
