Question:
Any patients of Dr, Alan Newhoff /Phx, Az

I forgot to ask if he uses staples to close up an open RNY, and I would also like to here from anyone that had surgery with Dr. Newhoff,    — Jennifer J. (posted on January 11, 2002)

I am not sure about Dr. Newhoff... but I can tell you one thing. If I lived near Phx.. Dr. Terry Simpson would be my choice by far.. what an outstanding man. Good luck!

i am a patient of dr newhoff's. my surgery was 12/18/01. the man truly has magic hands to go along with his 30 years of experience. he is also the trauma surgeon on call at good sam. he sews u back up from the inside with dissolving sutures. i have had many surgeries over the years & this scar is by far the best looking one i have. no railroad tracks. he has also saved my life with his keen insight. check my profile for the story on my liver. there r others on this site that r his patients too & i know they feel the same way about him as i do. im sure u will be hearing from them. in fact, one was my angel, & now i am an angel for another patient of his. his office staff is phenominal! especially cindi. she has been bending over backwards for me in relation to my liver problem, sending faxes & reports as soon as i ask & to wherever & who ever i ask. i think u have made the right choice.

I am a patient of Dr. Newhoff and can't say enough good things about him. He is an excellent surgeon who really cares about his patients. I was going to meet with the other doctors in town but canceled after I met Dr. Newhoff as I knew he was the surgeon for me. His experience in doing wls as well as being a trauma surgeon really impressed me. I am a Phoenix native and felt extremely comfortable having my surgery at Good Sam - it has been my families hospital of choice for over 40 years (I was even born there). Dr. Newhoff does not use stapes to close the incision. I would be happy to answer any specific questions you may have if you would like to email me privately.

I am also a patient of Dr. Newhoff. I am 6months post op as of today actually. Dr Newhoff definetly knows what he is doing. he is very busy due to the fact that he is also a trauma surgeon. Sometimes I get the feeling that he doesn't have time for me when I see him but I know he does, he is just really busy. His office staff is great. Have you been to one of his seminars? Have you submitted you info through weight for life? ( they are a pain) Have you been to a support group yet? they are held at Good Sam two Monday's out of the month. There, alot of people who are considering surgery, post op, and who are waiting to have surgery it is a great place to go and talk and ask guestions if you have any. I can send you the schedule if you like. I am 23 years old and lost 85lbs. I would love to talk to me more email me if you want to chat. [email protected]

Dr. Newhoff is an excellent surgeon. I had teh same procedure done in 2001. He retired in 2007,I think. Dr. Eric Schlessinger in Tempe, AZ is currently taking his patients. Dr. Stephen Simon who was Newhoff's partner is not doing gastric bypass surgery any longer. I have heard that there have been problems with the silastic ring that Newhoff put in bottom of our pouches. Dr. Schlessinger's office told me that many have to be removed as they have eroded. He is so busy that they will tell you what tests that can be ordered by your family Dr. prior tomaking an appointment with him, if there is a problem. I have good days and bad days with my stomach currently, and it is very picky about what food I can eat, or it will reject it. Is anyone else having this problem?
