Midtown Surgical Specialists Bariatric Center
Dr. Blaney performed my VSG in March 2017. Not only is it obvious that he knows what he is talking about medically, but he is a genuinely caring individual. I will never forget when I went for my consultation to ask about surgery. I had been encouraged by a family member who'd had a bypass done 10+ years ago in another state to ask this one question: "If you were going to do this procedure on your wife, which bariatric procedure would you choose?" She felt that many doctors see their patients as patients not people. But that's not the case with Dr. Blaney. Before I could even ask, he sat up straighter in his chair and said, "Kristen, if you were my daughter, this is what I would do." I knew from that moment that he was the right surgeon for me. He is very humble and full of compassion for people, truly wanting to see them succeed. I will forever be grateful to Dr. Blaney for giving me my life back. And I will always enthusiastically recommend him to people I know who are struggling the way I was.

I was under Dr. Boland's care for two years before inquiring about bariatric surgery. He is a phenomenal physician. Not only is he highly intelligent, but he is able to explain seemingly complicated medical concepts so that I could understand them. He cares about me as a person, not just as a patient. He always asked about my family and how my job was going. He patiently listened to any concerns I had regarding my weight loss. He celebrated with me on good days and encouraged and motivated me on bad days. Dr. Boland is always so kind but he also tells me the truth without sugar coating any concerns he may have. I recommend him to everyone I know!
Dr. Blaney actually cares about each patient. He will inform you of what your options are. He has a class that's mandatory to attend that explains each procedure, props and video included. He's never rude or inconsiderate and attentive to each patient's need. I can honestly say I love my surgeon. My family liked him as well. He took the time to explain how my procedure was performed and how it would affect me in a language they understood. I have no complaints, only rave reviews. If I had to recommend a Bariatric surgeon, Dr. Michael Blaney is the only one I will name. Best in the business of Bariatric care as far as I'm concerned.
I can't even begin to explain how DR. Blaney has changed my life, as well of the life of my family! He has done surgery on 4 people that live in my home.
He has gone above and beyond my expectations in so many ways because this man truly cares about his patients and wants them to succeed in life.
I would recommend DR. Blaney to anyone considering surgery.
He truly is my HERO!
My first impression of Dr. Blaney was that he was one of the most caring and compassionate doctors that I had ever talked to about my weight. I had always been made to feel shamed by other doctors that I had previously attempted to talk to about getting help with losing weight or having weight loss surgery. I knew at that first meeting he was the surgeon I fully trusted to perform my surgery. He was a life saver! My son and daughter in law have both used him as well for their weight loss surgery. I would definitely recommend him to anyone considering surgery for weight loss.
Dr. Blaney is a down to earth caring individual, since the first time I met him I loved his personality and professionalism, His staff also shows caring for each individual, I would recommend him and the staff at Live Healthy MD to anyone that is seeking weight loss surgery or a weight loss program.
