Midtown Surgical Specialists Bariatric Center

I liked Dr. Blaney from the first time I met him. He is very honest and very thorough and he will sit and talk to you and answer all your questions. He made me feel confident about my surgery and explained things to me. He has a very good sense of humor to! His office staff are so awesome and so nice and willing to help you and answer your questions. If I left a message to be called back, you can bet that all my calls were returned to!I am still in my process of getting my revision so I will be back!rn06/30/2009rnI am so thankful for the education on WLS that Dr. Blaney and associates have made sure his patients have before performing surgeries, I am having a revision and I feel confident that this second chance will be successful because of being informed!rn10/14/2009rnI just wnated to take a moment to thank Dr. Blaney and Bryn for there concern for me at my last visit on 09/04/2009, my husband had just left me the day before and it was a shock but I went on to my appointments and of course was upset and Dr. Blaney was great, he talked to me and told me not to let this hinder my progress and he even hugged me and told me that it was going to be ok eventually, not many Pysicians who be so caring about your personal situations anyway. I just thought it was thoughtful and I am thankful to have him as my Surgeon, because he DOES care about his patients! He wants us to succeed!

Dr. Blaney and his staff are all wonderful. I was really impressed with his bedside manner. He has taken very good care of me through everything. He takes time to listen and I never feel rushed even though he is a very, very busy man. On a scale of 1 to 10, I give him and his staff a well deserved 10!!!

My first impression of Dr.Blaney was that he is very comfortable with what he does. He is kinda soft-spoken, but i have never doubted that he knows what he's doing. The staff at Trinity bariatric is EXCELLENT! I am glad that Dr. Blaney has a structured program in place for after surgery. Overall, I have been very pleased with my experience with Dr. Blaney and his staff so far.

I had heard nothing but good things about Dr Blaney and from finally meeting him and speaking to him he is so aware of everything. Was always ready to answer all questions and has a very organized practice. He is so laid back and has a great smile that puts you at ease. He is very confident with himself and that makes me feel comfortable.

Dr. Blaney is a very caring and competent surgeon. He is a Bliss surgeon which means he has a good track record. His caring is evident in his classes and his attitude towards you. He has a very structured aftercare program and there is not one thing that I did not like about him. On a scale of 1 to 10 I rate him an 11. He has a great surgical competence, and also makes you feel that the surgery will be successful and that you will be fine. Even being a nurse over 20 years, I needed that verbal resurrance and he gave it to me without asking. His bedside manner is also great. I am sorry to be so positive, but he is simply the BEST.

My first thought was how I can't believe how relaxed I feel about taliking about my weight and issues- he really cares about my feelings. His humbleness amazes me everything i see him. I think he has the best staff in the world they truly support ALL patients needs. i don't have any issues with him. That hs is honest and truly wants to know how you feel. Aftercare is very important - he says - "You need to make the 1st year after surgery about getting yourself healthy - what are you going to do with it"- we have accessed to a great support group - dietician and psychologist. He explained all the pros and cons "risks" about surgery to myself as well has my husband. I would rate him at 100% real - his has good manner all the way around

Now that I have had surgery with Dr. Blaney I have a new respect for him. He is the most relaxed and caring doctor I have ever met. Even when I posed a small issue in the hospital, he never waivered, so I did not get worried. He is a rock!! All of my after care has been superb, his staff is wonderful, and the support groups offered every month are just what I needed to get me through the first few months. I am sure I will continue to go even when I am years out. The networking of people who have had this surgery is great! You can make friends that know what you are talking about, and you can relate to. I am glad that I chose Dr. Blaney not only because he is the best, but because I have no stress when dealing with the staff, and that is usually what makes me change doctors!! God Bless,a nd I hope you make the decision to go with Dr. Blaney!!

My first impression of Dr. Blaney was that he seemed like a down to earth, laid back kind of guy but at the same time very professional. He had a very strong, firm handshake... the sign of a good man! I have high hopes! His staff is fabulous as well, super friendly and genuine. Exactly the sort of people you want in this type of Practice. I really can't think of anything that wasn't positive or pleasant about my first visit.

My initial impression of Dr. Blaney was.....Wow! he is really down to earth!

Met with him today and he was very informative and easy to talk to. It felt like we (husband and I) were talking to a family friend who had great advice. His staff is very personable and helpful and really seem to love their jobs.

My first impression of Dr.Blaney was good. The day after I went to the first seminar I was calling to get the ball going. MY impression of him has only gotten stronger. He is very personable. He not only remebers me at every visit he also knows my husband. If my husband does not go with me to my appointment he tells me to tell him hey and that he will see him next visit. Dr.Blaney also recognized that I had cut and colored my hair. Get real how many doctors recognize that kind of stuff.rnrnThe office staff has always been very nice to me. Every time I call with a problem or a question if they do not know the answer they find out and get back with me.rnrnDr.Blaney stresses the importance of after care from the beginning. Success comes when you trust in your doctor and do what he tells you to do.rnrnOverall I do not have a complaint about Dr.Blaney or any of his staff. I rate his performance a 10 out of 10.rnrnThanks to Dr.Blaney and his office staff for the tools to help me change my life forever. rnrnTwo months before I went to see Dr.Blaney I weighed 322. Preop I weighed 288. 7 monthes out thank the LORD I am down to 208.rnrnHaving the Lap band was the best decision I have ever made in my many years of trying to lose weight. If I had to recommend Dr.Blaney and his staff to any one interested in weight lose surgery I would in a heartbeat. I have nothing negitive to say at all except the gas was terrible. It has gotten some better but not completely.
