Question:
I've just finished ALL of my pre-op testing and today I found out that my surgeon is

moving----6 hours away. I'm not sure what to do now. I've heard of a Dr. in Knoxville (since I started my quest) but I've forgotten his name. Any help is appreciated.    — Becky H. (posted on August 23, 2000)

I live in the knoxville area (Maryville/Alcoa actually) and I am not aware of any Dr. in Knoxville area who does WLS. There is a dr. in Johnson City, Dr. Compton and in Nashville there is Dr. Husted (my WLS surgeon) and someone at Vanderbilt Hosp. Hope this helps.

There are several surgeons within a reasonable distance in Tennessee. There is Dr. Compton in Johnson City, not far from you at all. In Nashville, there is Dr. Husted who does surgery at Cenntenial Med Center and Dr. Wright who does surgery at Vanderbilt. You might want to talk to Victoria Bowen, Janice King, and Starr Waddell just to name a few who had Dr. Husted as their surgeon and all are very happy with him. Hope this helps.
