Question:
Need a surgeon in or around Central Ohio that can schedule surgery in next 30-45 days

Anyone have any ideas? I sure could use some names of good surgeons here in or around central Ohio. I'm disappointed in my surgeon who had told me I could have surgery within that timeframe and is now telling me October --- maybe. My job is that no one else can take my projects so when I take on an assignment, I have to be here beginning to end. I have cleared all the major assignments in preparation and have had some taken away from me based on having surgery next month.    — Nell C. (posted on June 25, 2002)

Hi, Not a central Ohio doctor. But, have you tried Dr. Hess in Bowling Green,Ohio? If you can get insurace approval him or his partner,Dr. Oakley seems to get people in fairly quickly. Good Luck!

Hi, Nell. I am in Youngstown Ohio. I know you said you wanted someone in Central Ohio but, I know that several woman from Columbus have come to Dr. Rashid here in Warren ,Ohio to have their procedure done. I had my surgery done in April. His Phone # is : 330-393-7450. He has been doing this procedure for about a year now, although he has been a surgeon for over 20 years. He has done this procedure in the past for his patients who have been diagnosed with stomach cancer. So, He knows what he is doing. I wish you the best and good luck.

How about Dr. David Fallang in Middletown? He has an excellent surgeical record with very few complications. He is a really great surgeon and a neat guy. His number is 513-424=7025. Here is his page on this site http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/mdcomments.phtml?N=k69 Good luck!! Shelley

Thanks for all the suggestions! I really, really wanted Dr. Fallang after speaking with his office. They were the nicest people!!! BUT none of these doctors are covered under my plan --- boo-hoo. Looks like I have to suck it up and deal with my current. I just wish that customer service wasn't so lousy in most places these days.......
