Midtown Surgical Specialists Bariatric Center

Dr. Glass was very impressive. He answered all my questions. Dr. Glass is a very honest upfront Dr. that says what he thinks. I really apprieciate his honesty. He made me feel like I am in good hands.

My first impression of Dr. Blaney was not very good, I am afraid. My surgery had been cancelled that morning (for the next day) and I was upset and I was angry at whoever.
The next time we met, I was very pleased with him and was glad that I had gotten him after all. He is great. It was meant to be for me to get him as my surgeon, now I hav eno doubt about that. He talks to me and my husband and is very caring and concerned about his paients. I would recomend him to anyone needing a fgeneral surgeon.
The office staff is wonderful. They are all very nice and helpful and are never ugly to you. They are all great!
There is nothing I dilike about Dr. Blaney, it is true!
He will try to talk you out of surgery. He says that is his job. I think he is testing you. He has to know that you really want it.
The office is set up to give great before and after care with the help of a nutritionist and psychologist.
Yes. See above.
Yes. Dr. Blaney is very thorough in explaining all the risks and benefits and everything that could happen. He was very explicit!
I would give him two thumbs up, a ten out of ten and 5 stars. He is great!
Both, without a doubt. I am a nurse and all of these things matter to me!

I met Dr. Crist for the first time after my pre-op tests 10 days before my surgery. He was very nice and very thorough. I am very excited about the surgery and very excited about Dr. Crist being my doctor. He said he's done 65 surgeries laparoscopically on patients from 16 to 65 years old. He also said the worst complication he has had is one case of pneumonia. He has had NO leaks and said he will NOT leave the operating room if he even suspects he might have a leak. I told him I had read from other patients that he was a perfectionist, and he laughed and said it drives his wife crazy. I told him a perfectionist husband might drive you crazy, but a perfectionist surgeon is exactly what you want. So far, Dr. Crist gets an A+ in my book.

Met Dr. Blaney at my one year check up. Not really enough time with him to tell much about him - he seems nice. I guess I can tell more about him over time.

Dr. Glass seemed a little distant at first. I think he wants to weed out the "just thinking" people. When he knows you are truly interested and willing to go the hurdles, he comes around.

Dr Glass is a wonderful surgeon. He is very upfront about the surgery and the things that come with and before having the surgery. He explained everything to me and answered all of my questions. My surgery went wonderful and he constantly asks me if I have any more questions. He is very strict and will not do the surgery if you do not do the things that need to be done before the surgery. He is sure to tell you the risks and what can happen during and after the surgery and he will remind you of it everytime he sees you. At the same time he will also tell you of all the ways you can benefit from the surgery. He is very good at what he does and I would refer anyone I know to him.

My first impression od Dr. Blaney is that he is very caring about his bypass patients. He took alot of time to explain and answer all my questions. I am going into this surgery with no concerns about my doctor. I know I made the right choice with Dr. Blaney.

I thought that he was really thourough and .
I thought that I was having to wait too long.
I found that he was just being sure i was ready for surgery.
Kind and polite and caring.
Nothing really .
He will be sure of everyting before he does any surgery.
Very good.
Yes
he was honest and open about everything.
He is really very good .
Both great.

DR. BLANEY IS VERY INFORMATIVE AND HE SAT DOWN WITH MY HUSBAND AND MYSELF AND EXPLAINED EVERYTHING AND I FELT LIKE I WAS IMPORTANT AND HE ANSWERED EVERYTHING. I WOULD REFERR HIM TO ANYBODY WANTING TO KNOW ABOUT THIS SURGERY AND I'LL CONTINUE TO UP DATE THIS PAGE AS I GO THROUGH IT.

I met Dr. Blaney yesterday. He was very nice and made sure we understood every aspect of this surgery. I would recomend him to anyone.

My first impression of Doc. Blaney was a good one. You know they say you can tell by a hand shake if a person is cincir well I could tell he cares for his patients.
He tells it how it is, but he also explains things on a persons level not in all medical terms.
I will tell you more later as my surgery time comes and gose.
