Dr. Garth Ballantyne - Anyone have surgery with him?

I am scheduled for endoscopic GB with Dr. Ballantyne and haven't had an opportunity to speak with any of his former patients.  Is anyone who had surgery with Dr. Ballantyne willing to talk with me?  I am scheduled for next month and would love to speak with someone as soon as possible.  Thanks!

I tried having him perform surgery on me but I was getting no where with his office. So I decided to find a different surgeon. However-  One of the doctor's at my PCP's office had gastric bypass by Dr. Ballantyne. That is why they had originally referred me to him. I would assume if a doctor would choose to use him, he's pretty darn good!

Thank you so much for your response!  That is good to hear. 

I HASVE KNOWN A FEW NURSES WHO HAD GASTRIC BYPASS BY HIM AND THOUGHT HE WAS A  GOOD SURGEON HOPE THAT HELPS
