King's Daughters Medical Center Surgical Weight Loss Program Bariatric Center

I can only speak for my personal experience, but Dr. Tim Wheeler performed my adjustable lap band, and words do not express what an excellent surgeon I believe he is. He was very frank and informative about the surgery up front, but was also very concerned and caring throughout the pre and post surgery period. I had surgery on Tuesday, and had complications shortly after the surgery which required another surgery on Wednesday, but I went home on Thursday and returned to work the following Monday. I did not have to take any pain medication after the surgery, and I haven't had any nausea or ill effects. His staff has been excellent, especially Deana and Anna. I was his first patient since he moved to Ashland, and the weight loss program is just being set up there, but he and his staff had communicated with me regularly, and he has made me feel that I can contact him any time with any questions I might have. My experience has been excellent, and I believe it is a result of his excellent surgical skill and aftercare program. He is a great surgeon with great bedside manner. On a scale of 1-10, I give him a 10.
