PS with Dr. Andrew V. Kriegel of Bluepoint Experiences?

DUH, I just found out there is a Dr. Mitchel KriegeR and a Dr. Andrew V. KriegeL both located in the No. VA area.  So I have the information so many of you have posted mixed up in my mind.

Those who had used Dr. Andrew V. KriegeL if you could post your thoughts and experiences, please do so. Thanks.

I have met with Dr Krieger and Kriegel.   

I decided to go with Krieger.    He is well know for his experience with WLS.   During my talk with him he took a concervative stance on what type of surgery.   He spent 1.5 hours with me.   Discussion was to clearly understand what I expected from the PC.  He explained what he would and would not do.  Why he would not take the agressive stance.  He clearly understood me and what was best for my health.   Wow he gets Bariatric patients. 

I felt that Dr Kriegel was a bit too agressive in what he planned on doing to me.    I would have been under the knife for 7.5 hours.   Not so sure he gets us.   The discount as a Blue point WLS patient was offered.  But in the end the entire package Kriegers experience  and his staff offer turned out to be cheaper and a better buy.   

Hi Caroline,

I am having my surgery with Dr. Krieger on Nov. 30th. Somewhat nervous but I will prep myself spiritually and will be prepared for that day.

Dr.Krieger's personality was much better at my pre-op. I don't know Kriegel. I will have my surgery on the 30th of this month w/Krieger.
