Question:
Need a great Panniculectomy doctor closeby Manassas, VA. !

I need to have a panniculectomy done. I have been to several doctors however they are far from me. Does anyone know of good doctors in my area that are knowledgeable with a panniculectomy procedure. I am in Manassas, VA. I have been to a plastic surgeon in Richmond, VA that agrees something needs to be done however I sure would like to find someone closer. Any advice?    — Sarah B.

I don't know of anyone personally, but I've read about all the plastic surgeons listed on this website in Virginia. After reading all the wonderful things said about Dr. George Bitar in Fairfax, I have seriously considered traveling to see him when the time comes. He has the most post of any PS in Va. on the site and everyone had nothing but wonderful things to say about him. I would email some of the posters and see what information they can give you on him. Good luck!

I have heard of Dr. Saba (703) 465-5060 in Vienna (his office is located on Cedar Lane off of Lee Hwy - near Inova Fairfax) is excellent. I had a consult with him so that I can determine what I need to document when its time for my PS's. Best Wishes, Lyric

I actually work for Dr Saba.... the dr Lyric was talking about, he is really great. I work for my Gastric Bypass Surgeon, and Dr. Saba works out of our office as well as the ones in VA. His patients are very pleased with his work and bedside manner. Make a consult with him and see what you think. He is really nice and pretty easy to talk to.... Good Luck!! Mandy
