Question:
Does anyone know anything about Dr. John Nye of Pensacola,FL?

I was referred to him by my insurance--he is a thoracic surgeon who apparently also does WLS both open and laparoscopically. Does anyone know him?    — Cheryl W. (posted on August 22, 1999)

I communicated with someone who had had an appointment with him and he wasn't the most personable or enthusiastic. He wants to be sure this is REALLY what you want. The PA in his office is not particularly interested and seems to resent your questions. He is not a member of ASBS. Haven't we all been treated with indifferance for long enough? Check out the physicians in Gainesville; it may be a bit of a distance but will be well worth it.

Dr. John David Nye of Pensacola, Florida I have been very impressed so far with Dr. Nye and his staff. They have been very kind and helpful both on the phone and at my initial evaluation appointment. Dr. Nye and his nurse Rose both spent much time with me, taking my history, answering my questions, and explaining everything about the procedure. Dr. Nye also has an excellent surgical record. At first they require frequent aftercare appointments post-surgery, which gradually taper off to less frequently. There's no support group or meetings in place, so his staff are your support group to a large extent. I'm not a person who needs a lot of hand-holding, so this is OK with me. Plus I have found lots of support online and from other post-ops I've located, so I intend for these folks to be my support group!
