Question:
Has anyone used Dr. Naaman, and if so, how would you rate him?

Hello, I am still considering surgery and looking for a surgeon that does lap RNY and that does not have such a long waiting list. So, I found Dr. Naaman and he looks like he does have experience with this Lap surgery. So, I will be driving to Houston, TX. to visit with him on 10/23/01. My question is, has anyone used Dr. Naaman for your Lap or Open RNY and if so, how was your experience and would you recommend him to others? Please let me know what you think of him and how you are doing. I am very interested. If you would like to e-mail me at [email protected] please do so. I really appriciate all of your comments and advise. Thank You    — Nora R. (posted on October 13, 2001)

Hi Nora, I did a little research for you. This doctor is in this site's database. Go to the top of any page and click on "find a doc". Next click on #2 "browse the list" and choose Texas. You will get a list of surgeons in this state. Next to Dr. Naaman's name click on "view comments" and you will first get a listing of insurance companies that have paid for surgery with this doc. Continue scrolling and you will come to a list of patient comments. I find this very interesting. Included with each comment is the member's name (with link to their profile) and their e-mail address. After reading the comments maybe you could e-mail them your specific questions. Hope this helps.

Hi! Dr. Naaman performed my surgery on April 4, 2001. I will NEVER forget this day for as long as I lived! I have lost 106 pounds since that date, have had NO complications, and am feeling wonderful!!! I highly recommend him. Dr. Naaman and his staff are terrific and his nurse is great!! I enjoy going for my check up visits because they are all so positive to be around. I had my surgery with him after a friend of mine recommended him, and my friend has lost 130 pounds since November! Good luck - I know this is a difficult decision.

I had surgery with Dr. Naaman on Oct. 1. I went great! The doc is great along with the staff. My wife did not care for the bedside manner of Dr. Naaman. But I rather have a great surgeon. I only spent 2 days in the hospital rather than the 3 that is normal. Dr. Naaman motto is walk, walk walk.... If you do everything will be fine!
