Question:
Need help finding a dr for a friend

I am having my surgery on 4-11-01 in Plano, TX. My best friend in Southeastern Georgia is now wanting to have surgery too. Does anyone know of any dr's in her area? She may have to drive to Florida or Alabama, but she's hoping to stay within 2-3 hrs from home. She lives in Colquitt, GA. Thanks for any help!!    — Laura S. (posted on March 30, 2001)

Hello, I looked up the Doctors in your friends area and there are eight of them. The one that stands out is Dr.Champion. Just tell her to got to "find a doc"on this site and click on her state and that should help her. Tell her I said good luck and best wishes.

Dr. J.K. Champion of Atlanta is internationally recognized for his experience and expertise in the field of laparascopic RNY. He is a board-certified thoracic and vascular surgeon who is also board-certified in bariatric surgery and has been specializing in this field since 1994. His web site is www.drchampion.com. Additional information and admission packets may be obtained via the web site. He is an exquisite surgeon who takes an intensely personal interest in his patients. I selected him after several months of research and believe that I could not have made a better choice. Good luck!

I will be having lap Bpd/Ds done by Dr. Dennis C. Smith in Marietta, Ga sometime this summer. He has excellent qualifications.
