Dr. Robert McKeen? Anyone heard of him?

I am looking around to see who the good doctors are for Lap-Band in the Utah area.  Anyone heard of this guy, Dr. Robert McKeen?  If so, please tell me about him and what you've heard or think of him.  I am currently breastfeeding, but in about 6-9 months, I can really consider having the Lap-Band, when I stop nursing my little one.   Is there a website, that I can check his credentials and see if he is a good doctor?  Thanks. Oh and is this board normally this SLOOOOOW?  I hardly see any posts on threads, just views.    Not a lot going on this board....

I used South Valley Surgical - and had Dr. Hansen.  http://www.svsurgical.com/ I think Dr. Mckeen is with RMAP.  http://www.utahbariatrics.com/index.php Tammy

Thanks Tammy.   I have a few questions about Dr. Hansen and overall on your personal experience with the lap band.   I'm not sure I want Dr. McKeen, with him being in both CA and UT (for post-op).  I want someone who is based here in UT.  Would you mind answering questions on here or via email?  I really would like a personal experience with the lap band, to help me know if it's for me and help me feel more comfortable about proceeding with the steps towards surgery.  It won't be for another 6-8 mos (when I quit nursing my baby), but I am doing research up until when I decide and start making appts with the dr.  Thanks.

I have my surgery scheduled with Dr. Hansen on Monday July 16th. I orginally had it scheduled with Dr. Alldredge but due to a scheduling conflict I had to switch doctors. I have several friends that used Dr. McKeen and loved him! I reccomend trying to attend the next seminar.

I used Dr. McKeen and would recomend him to anyone. He flys in from California twice monthly  to do surgerys and consult with patients, he and his Nurse give you their phone #'s and they can be reached any time. She lives in Utah and could  do a  unfills if you needed it. He is awsome!

I had Lap Band surgery through Rocky Mountain Associated Physicians on June 4th. I went with Dr. McKinlay and I LOVE him!  I've had no problems or complications whatsoever - and they have a really good educational program.  Good Luck!

I'm a prior band and new to Utah.  I use these boards for almost everything.  I need adjustment and don't know where to go.   Saw a Dr. Green mentioned but when I called  $533!  OUCH. Dr. .. I don't know his name in Orem was almost $400.  But in Salt Lake is Dr. Muse for $155 and like 80 bucks more for fluoro.  This sounds too good to be true, yes.  I'll find out in 2 weeks as this is when I have my first appt with him.
