Göran Hellers, M.D. Bariatrics Bariatric Center

My doctor was Goran Hellers, but actually someone who has worked closely with him and is part of his team. I can't even come close to spelling his name properly, but he was very very nice. I wasn't given much advanced notice of this change and I would've preferred knowing this farther in advance. I probably wouldn't have changed anything, but it would have been nice.

My doctor was very friendly and spoke very clear English. He met with me several times after the surgery (before I left Sweden) and each time I felt that he had all the time in the world to see how I was feeling and make sure I didn't have any questions. His office staff was wonderful! The hospital that I was in doesn't only do WLS it also does other surgeries, however, the nurses treated me with the utmost respect and seemed as thought the really truly cared.

My doctor is not really involved in the patient after care. I have his cell phone number and can call him anytime I'd like. AGB is a pretty easy surgery for follow up care and he gave me pages of instructions to give to my PCP.

My doctor has a webpage with lots of information on it. Also, his assitant was available all the time for ANY questions I might have. She and I emailed a lot back and forth.

I would give my doctor a very high rating and would reccomend him. He seemed very surgically competent and he had great beside manners.
