Madison Surgical Associates Bariatric Center

Just now getting around to posting a review for Dr. Mailapur and his awesome staff in Huntsville, AL. First, let me say that I was amazed at how friendly he and his staff have been. My pre-surgery, post sleeve surgery has been a great experience. On my first visit to see Dr. Mailapur after my surgery he surprised me by coming in the exam room and giving me a hug. He had the biggest grin on his face and so did I!! I would recommend him and his staff to anyone considering bariatric surgery. The thoroughness of Angi, Linda, and Jessica was very helpful in making my tool a success. I had surgery January 13, 2014 and as of today I have lost 49lbs. Thank you Dr. Mailapur for being the best!!!

I LOVE Dr. Mailapur!! Everyone from the time I started this venture has been GREAT!!! He along with his office and hospital staff have given me a new lease on life!! I had the surgery due to being overweight of course but also to prevent medical issue that I know where in my future (diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, cancer, etc...) are all things that are present in my family so I knew it was only a matter of time. Dr. Mailapur has given me a new life without fear of those issues :) I Thank you and my family Thanks you!!!

I met Dr. Mailpur at a Bariatric weight loss seminar in October 2013. I was very impressed with the professionalism of he and his staff and the relationships between them and past patients. The seminar was the final straw in my decision to proceed with the weight loss surgery. Dr. Mailpur has a very educated approach of informing you and directing you on your journey. The Nutritionist, Nurse Practitioner, support groups and Office staff provide you with the precise information needed regarding insurance and pre-surgery needs. I knew about all of the risk involved in surgery prior to surgery. I was not afraid to go ahead with my surgery. My mind was made up and I was very well prepared for what to expect after surgery. On December 4, 2013 I had my surgery. Dr. Mailapur was such a pleasant face to see when coming out of surgery. Although I had an unexpected tumor, he very confidently assured me that my surgery was a success. Most definitely, the Gastric Bypass has changed my life. To date, Dr. Mailapur reminds me that this is a tool for weight loss and I am graciously using this tool. Dr M. has such a warm and pleasant reception of his patients and reassures you of how confident he is regarding your success. If I had to rate Dr M. I would give him 10+ because he did not give you any false hope; just direction on how to utilize the Bariatric Surgery as a tool. This tool has changed my life for the best!!! Thank you Dr. M and Madison Surgical Group!!!!!

Dr. Mailapur is the best! From the moment I met him, I felt completely at ease. The days leading up to my Sleeve surgery I felt so so nervous but he called me and left me the sweetest message letting me know that it was going to be ok and we would get thru it. Dr. M makes sure to educate his patients so we know exactly what we are getting ourselves into and takes a no nonsense approach during the follow up care. Dr. M is top notch and I have already recommended him to five of my friends who are considering surgery. Love Dr. Mailapur!

I went into my weight loss experience with very little knowledge on what to expect. Dr. Mailapur and his staff helped me with that every step of the way. There is no way I could've asked for a better doctor to help me through this journey.

Dr. M, you're the best!

After much research, I chose Dr. Mailapur for my surgeon. It was the right decision. My experience has been nothing but positive. I have felt completely supported throughout the entire process. I have no reservations recommending Dr. Mailapur to anyone who is considering bariatric surgery. Great experience!

I had my surgery November 11, 2013. The staff was very friendly. Dr. Mailapur was a God send. He was very professional and made me feel a ease throughout the entire process. My healing time was quick and with minimal pain. I did not have to take any pain medication whatsoever when I returned home from surgery. Also, my scars are so small that they are hardly recognizable. I would highly recommend him for anyone who is considering weight loss surgery.

Dr. Mailapur receives 5 stars . Great doctor, great staff, very supportive, very detailed with information and expectations.

I was going to another Dr.but I just didn't feel like he was right for me..I sought to find the best surgeon for sleeve gastric surgery. I actually came here read his reviews and thought..wow! I have to meet this Dr! Dr Malipur has a kind nature but he is thorough. He will ne honest with you and you will know exactly what to do before and after your surgery. When I had my surgery, he had no deaths, no leaks and less than 1 percent complication rate. His staff is great. The only complaint, if you call it one, is that sometimes things run slower because he is SO busy. But..he's with the wait. In the hospital he made sure to check in on me..and he took excellent care of me! I prayed for God to help me find the right doctor..an he lead me to him. He is a blessing to me and many other people. He listens to you, he is concerned and cares about you..but most of all..he is a remarkable surgeon. I work in the medical field..so I hear all kinds of things about all kinds of doctors..but I only have heard good about Dr M. He makes sure that you know all the risks, that you are well informed in every way..and furthermore..what impressed me most is that he will turn you down for surgery if its not appropriate in every way. He's not after your money..he's doing this to save lives and make a difference. And believe me, he does.I even got dehydrated after surgery, I called his answering service..he called me back within minutes!! I know I have the best Dr in Alabama for the gastric sleeve..I'm more than thrilled that God lead me to him. His excellence has changed me in so many ways for the good. He literally is saving lives, he helped me to where I now can be a participant in my own life..not just sit on the sidelines and watch others live. I no longer suffer from high blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol, sleep apnea, acid reflux..and more..so yes..this man, this Dr is a blessing to me. Thru his God given talent, I now, am happy HEALTHY and able to enjoy my life !! Thank you, thank you Dr. Malipur..may God bless you abundantly, that you may continue helping others to a better way of life.

My name is Tina Peden. I had my gastric sleeve surgery December 9,2013 at Huntsville Hospital surgery was done by Dr. Ravindra Mailapur the most caring and compassionate doctor I have ever met. The office staff is friendly always happy. they will go beyond their means to help you. If you call the office with a problem or question it gets resolved and they always return your phone call. I suggest if you are interested in weight loss surgery that you attend a seminar it was very helpful to me and a big part in my decision to have the surgery. Dr.mailapur has 0 deaths and no complications and has performed thousands of surgeries . That alone speaks for it's self he is great !!!! He tells you the surgery is a tool he gives you the rest is up to you. He gives you a diet to follow if you follow his instructions you will have great results. the consultation was very informing he goes over everything the pros and cons of the surgery for me it was more pros than cons. I have been over weight all my life. As of today I am down 68 pounds !!! best decision I have ever made. he really emphasizes getting your protein, drinking.. your water, walk or some sort of excerise, take you multivitamin and calcium, If you follow his instructions you will do great. the entire experience from start to finish was great. I would do it all again he gave me a tool to work with that being said I am thankful for it saved my life. I recommend Dr. Mailapur highly.
