Question:
Wanting good and bad info on Dr Choban or others in Ohio

This is the one Dr that I am considering. People that have had her do thier surgery, good or bad could you please write me and let me know what you think of her? And other Drs that are in the Ohio (columbus Dayton area) Thanks so much    — allison F. (posted on August 6, 1999)

even though i did not have my surgery done by dr choban i've heard nothing but good things about her. how well she understands her patients. and how she takes the time to answer any questions and fears that they may have. my surgery(vgb)was done by dr marco bonta at grant/riverside(riverside methodist) hospital. he does do both type even though he did do the job his vacation started after my surgery (oh well he's only human) i did see his partner every day. i can tell you that dr bonta is an assistant professor of surgery at osu and is head of the trauma department at grant/riverside. i hope that this helps and good luck:)

I have an appointment with Dr. Melvin at OSU Hospital on August 13th. I am hoping to have an RNY done laproscopically and he is the only one that has experience with it in this area. I have been very impressed with OSU's comprehensive approach to WLS, the support group and nutritionist have been very helpful. Good Luck!
