Kahlil A. Shillingford, M.D., PA Bariatric Center

Dr. Shillingford and his staff are truly amazing. Michelle, Nancy, and Elba in the office are wonderful and will answer any question you may have and if they do not know, they will find out so you do know.

Dr. Shillingford does amazing work! He is straight forward and does not sugar coat which in my book equals accountability- What we all NEED going into this! I could not have picked a better team!

My One Piece of advice: Do your research, follow Dr. Shillingford's advice and plan, and Understand this is a tool and you will come out just fine! "Happy Losing"

Dr. Shillingford is great! He did my gastric sleeve. Very patient answering all my questions and has a calming, low-key demeanor. Would recommend to anyone!!

Dr Shillingford did my surgery (gastric sleeve) last July, so far I have lost 98 lbs, I am so happy with the results, he is a great doctor, he is the best doctor a person can have, he also did lap band for my son. I would highly recommend him, his staff are great, they are always there when you need them.

I have just had my first consultation with the doctor. He was very professional and not at all judging! I was fully expecting him to lecture me about my weight and he didn't. He took a lot of time to explain the different options, complications, what happens after surgery, and the long term effects.

The office staff is really the rock of the office. I have no doubt that Nancy, the office manager, will be able to get my insurance approval quickly.

I am looking forward to my surgery!

I absolutely LOVE how this office runs! I walk in, and the office staff knows me by name and welcomes me. I don't live in the immediate area, and they have been amazing with dealing with my crazy schedule! I also like that I have seen a lot of medical students passing through. They all seem to really know what they are doing, which means that Dr. Shillingford is really teaching them well. As for Dr. Shillingford, he answers all of my crazy questions that I have. Being only 23, I am very nervous going into the surgery, but Dr. Shillingford and his staff have definitely been easing my nerves throughout the pre-op process.

If I ever have to talk to anyone about potentially getting some kind of weight loss surgery, I will highly recommend Dr. Shillingford!

This office has a very knowledgeable and friendly staff. The office is nice, clean, warm and inviting. Dr Shillingford gave me all of the proper info needed to keep my expectations realistic. The info also helped me make informed decisions regarding my procedure and care. I am grateful to have found Dr. Shillingford and his team, they saved my life! I will definitely recommend them to anyone looking to have bariatric surgery.

Since I was in elementary school I struggled with my weight. I tried tons of diets, went up, down, and back up plus more time after time. At age 38 I had a realization. I had given everything I had to my children and my husband. I had done the best so far that I could do for everyone else. It was time for me to do something really important for me. It was for them too as I had a bmi of 41, my health, and my ability to participate in activities was declining. My self esteem was terribly low as well. I was very sad inside. Then I went to see Dr. Shillingford. He was so very kind. He was very knowledgeable, he explained the procedures, took his time with me, and answered any questions I had. There was no pressure and his office staff also took their time with me over the phone, in the office, and were very nice. I opted to have Gastric Sleeve surgery. My surgery went very smoothly. I felt well enough to leave the hospital after just one day but Dr. Shillingford being the great Dr. he is, urged me to stay the full duration so I could be monitored to which I agreed. Since then, I have gone back to Dr. Shillingford routinely for monthly, bi-monthly, and now tri-monthly appointments so he could monitor my progress. It has now been 4 1/2 months. I have lost 77 lbs so far and my BMI is down to 29! I am still losing and I am feeling so much better about taking pictures, showing myself in public, and talking to other people. There is no going up and down on the scale anymore! I just can't eat the food I used to anymore and I don't want to. I am completely satisfied with my smaller portions and my smaller body. Marrying my husband and having my children were the best decisions of my life. Going to Dr. Shillingford and having the surgery came next in line. I am done with being overweight, I am healthy now, and I am happy!

Dr Shillingford is the answer to my prayers. He is great! surgery went smoothly and recovery was fast. I am very pleased with his service. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Shillingford and his staff were extremely nice and knowledgeable! Also, being a younger patient, this experience could have been very daunting but everyone involved made me feel very comfortable and confident in the decision I was making.

"What an amazing experience. Dr. Shillingford is a kind, thoughtful, and experienced professional, I credit him with giving me my life back. Along with Dr. Shillingford, there is a fine staff of individuals available to answer questions, address concerns, etc. I am so happy to have found Dr. Shillingford. He's simply the best!
