I had an advantage over most people who are searching for a surgeon. I had the opportunity to work with Dr. Mailapur and see his work literally from the inside out. So when my family physician mentioned the procedure to me as an option, I already had a Surgeon in mind. My impression of him has not changed over time. It has remained constant. I believe that his attitude toward me has not changed, therefore my attitude toward him has not changed. He still remains a close friend and is genuinely concerned about my well being. His office staff was in a transition period when I started seeing him. However Bridgette has been wonderful throughout the whole ordeal. I think that the thing I like most about him is that he has a genuine concern for his patients. Not just about the surgery but about your quality of life. He will be with you for the long haul. Aftercare is very important to him. He has a support group available. He is very well rounded in his bedside manner and surgical competence. I think that both of these are very important.

It has been 6 months since my gastric bypass surgery and i have done great! I have lost 68lbs. Dr.Mailapur and his staff where great! He is a great doctor! When I first meet him at his seminar he was very informative about the surgery and answered all of my questions. His staff was great helping me with my insurance and questions pre op and post op. I would highy reccomend him to anyone!

Dr. Mailapur is such a sweet man. He is so knowledgeable in the field of medicine and he has a great bedside manner. The office staff is so caring and curteous. They all want the best for you. Dr. Mailapur is an experienced surgeon and you really know that you are in caring, sincere hands!! He is great!! Give him a try. I had only the best results.

Dr. Mailapur was the second surgeon I went to. The first one was also in Huntsville, AL. The first doctor I was only a paycheck to. Dr. Mailapur is the best doctor I have ever been to EVER. He wanted to make sure I had a good support group. At one of my visits he ask about my children and one of them was waiting in the waiting room. Before we left Dr. Mailapur went to the waiting room and introduced himself to my son. I also love his staff they are really concerned about you. The helped me with all my insurance questions and my concerns seemed to be their priority. When I went to the hospital to have surgery they took really good care of me. He had his own mini staff for the surgery. I felt very comfortable and well taken care of. He does everything possible to have the least amount of complications during surgery. I had two IV's and he took really good care of me. He also request that from now on.... for the rest of my life.... I am to check up with him yearly. The only problem I had with any of my surgery or my hospital stay was on my first meal at the hospital they gave me surgar in my jello. It made me a little sick. (This is my own opion of my experience with the hopital and with Dr. Mailapur and his staff. I feel they are the best. This again is my opion and my experience with them.)

I work at the hospital where Dr. Mailapur does surgery. I also knew several people who had their surgery done by him. They all did well. One of his patients inspired me to have surgery. Dr. Mailapur is an excellent physician. I enjoy working with him on the surgery units. He is very likable and a people person. After attending his seminar, I knew this surgery was for me. He explained everything we needed to know. After the seminar, he talked with every person who attended. He has an aftercare program that meets once a month, and he attends unless he is working. He also expects you to follow his instructions if you are accepted for surgery. You are given all the information you need to have to make an informed decision regarding the surgery and the aftercare.rnAfter surgery, he and his nurse came by daily, and sometimes more often. He addressed all concerns. His office staff were very kind and helpful. He and his staff are excellent at what they do.

My first impression of Dr. Mailapur was excellent. He is a very caring and very thorough doctor. He will take the extra time and go the extra mile to assure that you are given quality treatment. What I liked most about him is he is very genuine. He really cares about his patients. You won't receive better care from any doctor than Dr. Mailapur. He is very strict on aftercare and follow up appointments and doing what you're supposed to do. He has a support group that meets once a month and he has a very structured aftercare program. Overall I would rate Dr Mailapur at the top of the chart! His surgical competence and bedside manner are EXCELLENT! Feel free to email me with any questions or concerns you might have.

Dr Mailapur and his entire staff was so helpful and friendly. They made the process painless, and easy. Everything went very quickly and I was qualified for the surgery in less than a month. He scheduled the surgery right away and fit me into his schedule for my convenience. He was very informative and always asked me if I had questions. The surgery day went so well. He did a wonderful job and I have very little scaring. I had minimal pain and returned to work in a week. He checked on me daily in the hospital and made sure to keep me inline with the instructions that he had given me for after surgery (even when I didn't want to do it!) I was very thankful that he did, because I have had no complications and I owe almost all of it to him. Thanks so much Dr. Mailapur for changing my life! rnrn-Shannon Pearce

He's a great surgeon, very intelligent, and sweet.

I met with Dr Mailapur Tuesday and all I can say is the man impressed me very much. His staff is beyond awesome. I was already impressed with his seminar the week before but meeting him face to face just cinched what I already felt. He made me very comfortable and to be totally honest I haven't a worry in the world that when my date for surgery is scheduled and I go in that I will be in very good hands. His lack of hesitation in telling us things at the seminar caught my attention right off the bat. He didn't have to stop and think of his answer it just came naturally. That same feeling was there in a one on one situation.rnrn

I had heard of Dr. Mailapur, but had not yet met him when I called his office to get information. The receptionist put me on hold, and the doctor picked up the phone to talk with me. That really impressed me that he cared enough to speak with me before I had even met him. When I did meet him, I was equally impressed. Very knowledgeable and his staff pleasant and helpful. I attended the free public seminar and then was able to get an office appointment rather quickly. I did have to pay the consult fee up front ($175). He told me after that, I would only be responsible for the copay on subsequent visits. Being a nurse at the hospital where he operates, I have been able to talk with nurses who take care of his patients postoperatively, and they have had nothing but great things to say about him, and several co-workers had the surgery, and were very happy with him. I'm looking forward to starting this new chapter in my life! I have nothing negative to say about Dr. Mailapur...I think he's wonderful!rnrnApril 5, 2007rnHome from the hospital today and I'm still very impressed with Dr. Mailapur. He came by my hospital room this morning to remind me of the \"rules\" and that he has given me a \"tool\" and it's up to me to make the best use of it. He's very caring, and I'd have to rate him A++++!
