Southeast Bariatrics, PA Bariatric Center

I met with several doctors in the area before I picked Dr. V. He is a wonderful person to talk with. He seems like is concerned about you and what is best for you. I had the lap-band others made me feel that wasn't the way to go. I didn't feel comfortable with the other surgery options and Dr. V said this is a starting point. So that made me feel good knowing he cared about my concerns. The surgery went well and I am feeling great. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needed a good doctor. Bobbie his nurse is just the best. She knows her stuff being a WLS patient herself. She makes you feel right at home. The whole office if great. The one and only thing that is bad is the wait...when you go for an appt you are more then likely going to wait @ 30 mins. But to me it's worth it know that the level of care I get is just as important as the next person. Thanks to Dr V for changing my life.

I have seen Dr Voellinger once but that was enough time to see his is truly concerned about his patients. I felt like a person not just a number while I was there and every time I have called his office ( which has been quite a bit!). His office staff is especially helpful and don't seem to get upset if you call with questions. The aftercare is a major part of the program and he lets you know that up front. I was told the risks of surgery and feel I have more risks health wise if I don't have the surgery! So far I give him and his entire staff an A. I was concerned about the time it took to get a responce with a surgery date. It took 2 weeks before my info was sent to my insurance company, and I finally called my insurance co and they said I could give them the information over the phone. I was approved within 2 days after that call. It took 2 weeks once I had heard I was approved to get a phone call. I do understand that they were waiting for his surgery schedule for the new month and I was his first one for the month of August

I have done my whole journey, and just met Dr. Voellinger, I think he is really nice.
His staff is fantastic.
So far there is nothing to say bad about anyone there.

Dr. Voellinger was very straight forward. He didn't beat around the bush and seemed to be very honest. I appreciate that!
I really like the Bariatric Centers program. They focus on the whole indiviual, and the best way to make the surgery successful. I am excited, and cannot wait until I am a BIG LOSER!

I met with my surgeon. I liked him. I asked all my questions, and he answered them in a way that was understandable to me. There is good aftercare. He addressed all the risks. He seems to be very competent. My only disappointment is that I have to fast for two weeks prior to surgery.

I am currently looking into another surgeon. The process of his office staff is very slow, and I don't like them. I have gotten so stressed over this, and I have been very very patient. I decided to join the gym and watch what I eat, and some day find another surgeon. I have been so very happy that I will not have to deal with his office ever again.

Dr. Voellinger is highly professional and very personable. He is a jokester that made me feel very comfortable and his staff was very supportive through each and every step and setback.

I cannot say I disliked anything in particular. The wait for a surgical date was the hardest part of my journey. After being approved there was a window of time that I was just waiting. Which was very hard. Although there were several pre-surgical exams and consultations I understand that most is for the insurance approval, and anything else was for my safety.

Dr. V explained the entire surgery to me and explained all the possible outcomes.

I'd rate the entire practice with a 9/10...and anticipate 10/10 post surgical.

Dr. Voellinger is great. It has been only 3 weeks and already he has changed my life in so many ways. He is a Dr. who really cares about you and how you do, not many of them around anymore. The office staff went out of their way for you also. All questions answered with a smile. There is nothing I don't like about Dr. Voellinger and his staff. I had a good out come. But you should do your own research about Dr. Voellinger or any other surgeon so you are sure you got the right one for the job.

Staff is great, but I had difficultly seeing Dr. post op even though having complications.
Two appointments were scheduled, but he was unable to be there due to surgery.

MY FIRST IMPRESSION OF DR. V WAS FASTBUT THROUGH AS I PREPARED FOR SURGERGY I REALIZED WHY DR VOELLINGER SEEMED RUSHED IT IS HIS NATUER AND TRAINING HE IS ON THE TRAUMA TEAM AT THE HOSPITAL SO SLOWNESS IS NOT A GOOD VIRTURE THE OFFICE STAFF ARE FRIENDLY AND THEY STAY ON TOP OF THINGS NO BAD EXPERIENCES.PATIENTS SHOULD KNOW THAT IF HE TELLS YOU SOMETHING TO DO OR PUTS YOU ON A PLAN YOU SHOULD FOLLOW IT TO THE LETTER IF NOT HE WILL NOT DO THE SURGERY AFTERCARE IS ADDRESSED IN THE OFFICE AS THERE IS A ON STAFF NUTRIONIST,PERSONAL TRAINER AND SUPPORT GROUP MANAGERS ALL IN HOUSE.THE RISKS OF THE SURGERY WERE EXPLAINED IN DETAIL AT MY FIRST CONSULTATION.OVERALL I GIVE DR V A GREAT BIG 10+ THIS IS A GREAT SURGEON MY SCARS ARE MINIMAL 1 WEEK POST OPT PAIN IS GONE EXCEPT FOR THE SMALLER STOMACH I CAN'T EVEN TELL I HAD SURGERY
