looking for a surgeon

I am looking for a great surgeon in the rock hill area can anyone help me, Please

I've not heard about any great Dr.s in Rock Hill they all refused to talk to me until I had lost down to at least 450 pounds I was at 750 at that time Please go see Dr. Karl Byrne at MUSC in Charleston it will be well worth your time and travel

Try Dr. Espinal from Palmetto Surgery 803-342-5858.  He's located right next to the hospital.

He is awesome.  However the staff is rude and totally none helpful.  Also when it comes to the physc. evaluation, he only has one guy you HAVE to go to.  And this guy is a jerk.  I forget the guys name, but he's arrogant and barely speaks English. You can hardly understand him.

I didn't go thru Dr. Espinal. I went thru Dr. Lowe who's located in Uptown Char. Near the Panthers Stadium.

But, if you can get past the rude staff and the asshole therapist.....Dr. Espinal is so worth it.

I am pre-op still, but I love Dr. Byrne (Charelston, MUSC). Heard nothing but good things about him!

Hope that helps some :)

Good luck!!!

Dr. Espinal is the Dr that told me that I was to fat to have WLS  He stated that after I had lost 300 pounds that he would be glad to "help" me If I could have lost the 300 pound with out the surgery then I sure as HELL would not need his "help" I can't stnd that man!

Check out Dr David Voellinger in Charlotte -- southeastbariatrics.com

He does most/all of the surgeries.  Not sure how much weight you are planning to lose, but please include the Duodenal Switch in your research.

My doc; Dr. Glen Strickland is awesome!.I have no complaints. he is in Columbia and he and the other 2 docs there have won/presented with all kinds of awards for excellance.

Good Luck!

Try Dr. Bauman with www.carolinaweightlosssurgery.com. I didn't have my surgery with him - I had it with Dr. Theis in rock hill. he's no longer practicing - but I wish I had used Dr. Bauman!! I've had several friends go through Dr. B and LOVED it. Not to mention - he is thorough, thorough, thorough.. not just about pre-op - but he's REALLY good with post-op care. I'm currently seeing if he will take me on as a patient for post-op despite the fact he didn't do my initial surgery. So.. he's in Concord - but believe me - WORTH IT. My friends look great, and are very healthy - but mentally AND physically.
HTH,
