Just wondering if any of you know what happened to him???  A couple months ago there was an announcement in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette that he had moved to UPMC, and he was on their web site.  Now he isn't there nor on the AGH website...so I was wondering if anyone out here knew what happened to him???

Thanks,
Cindy

I have heard several things.  One that he went to UPMC Magee,  Then I heard from a friend who had WLS at AGH, that he left because he was being sued either by a patient or Insurance Company.

Thanks for the replies.  I had talked to UPMC about him, but he is not listed anywhere on their web site right now.  If the lawsuit story is correct, maybe he is laying low....

Thanks again.

last I heard was that he left AGH (with 5 patients left behind before having their surgery by him) and he was joining Magee UPMC.  From there AGH was supposing to be suing him for breach of contract with them,  non compete clause.   Havent heard anything further.    Maybe he is hanging low at upmc, sort of put on hold so to spea****il all is ironed out with AGH
