Live Healthy MD Bariatric Center

Dr. Blaney performed my VSG in March 2017. Not only is it obvious that he knows what he is talking about medically, but he is a genuinely caring individual. I will never forget when I went for my consultation to ask about surgery. I had been encouraged by a family member who'd had a bypass done 10+ years ago in another state to ask this one question: "If you were going to do this procedure on your wife, which bariatric procedure would you choose?" She felt that many doctors see their patients as patients not people. But that's not the case with Dr. Blaney. Before I could even ask, he sat up straighter in his chair and said, "Kristen, if you were my daughter, this is what I would do." I knew from that moment that he was the right surgeon for me. He is very humble and full of compassion for people, truly wanting to see them succeed. I will forever be grateful to Dr. Blaney for giving me my life back. And I will always enthusiastically recommend him to people I know who are struggling the way I was.

Dr.Jacome is an amazing surgeon and a wonderful person. He did my VSG three years ago and it didn’t end with just surgery. He invests his heart and soul into his work. He truly cares about his patients. I trust him like no other. He is the reason for my success and I will forever be grateful . If you are unsure if making that final decision he will help you and follow you each step of the way. ????

Dr. Blaney actually cares about each patient. He will inform you of what your options are. He has a class that's mandatory to attend that explains each procedure, props and video included. He's never rude or inconsiderate and attentive to each patient's need. I can honestly say I love my surgeon. My family liked him as well. He took the time to explain how my procedure was performed and how it would affect me in a language they understood. I have no complaints, only rave reviews. If I had to recommend a Bariatric surgeon, Dr. Michael Blaney is the only one I will name. Best in the business of Bariatric care as far as I'm concerned.

Dr.Blaney has been one of the best surgeons ever . He is very attentive and really has your best interest in mind. His entire staff is very pleasant and helpful. I wouldn't want to go anywhere else.

I can't even begin to explain how DR. Blaney has changed my life, as well of the life of my family! He has done surgery on 4 people that live in my home.

He has gone above and beyond my expectations in so many ways because this man truly cares about his patients and wants them to succeed in life.

I would recommend DR. Blaney to anyone considering surgery.

He truly is my HERO!

My first impression of Dr. Blaney was that he was one of the most caring and compassionate doctors that I had ever talked to about my weight. I had always been made to feel shamed by other doctors that I had previously attempted to talk to about getting help with losing weight or having weight loss surgery. I knew at that first meeting he was the surgeon I fully trusted to perform my surgery. He was a life saver! My son and daughter in law have both used him as well for their weight loss surgery. I would definitely recommend him to anyone considering surgery for weight loss.

Dr. Blaney is the greatest. I could not have imagined trusting my life with any other surgeon, but him. He made this process simple and put my mind at ease with any fears. I thank God for Dr. Blaney and would highly recommend him.

I had horrible chest pain that prevented me from eating or drinking without pain. I was told to go to the ER to have it checked out. My heart was fine, so I was admitted for more testing (since it had been only 6 months from my date of surgery-RNY). The on-call Doctor was Dr. Hill. She told me that I was crazy and that I was one of her problem patients (I had been admitted twice for dehydration since surgery). After a few days of very little testing, Dr. Hill told me that she couldn't find anything wrong and said "just suck it up". She finally did an endoscopy and found an ulcer. The day after the endoscopy I had questions about the ulcer. When she came in for rounds that day, I tried to ask her some questions. She rolled her eyes and sighed. I started asking questions and she was very short with me. The only thing that she was able to tell me was that "this is your last chance to come in here for dehydration". "My last chance?" I asked. "Yes, your last chance. If you have to come in again we will have to give you a PICC line and you could die." -- soooo, I chose to get an ulcer which then made it impossible for me to eat or drink for 14 days?! ( I am not 100% innocent in all of this- I had 3 shots of alcohol, which may have led to the ulcer- but in no way did I anticipate that this would all happen). I am disgusted at the lack of professionalism demonstrated by Dr. Hill and as a result, I will never recommend Dr. Graber's office to anyone in the Syracuse area. To have a provider who treats patients as poorly as Dr. Hill treated me in one's practice makes me question the integrity of the entire team.

Dr. Blaney is a great doctor and I thank GOD for him. He always encourages me I would tell anyone to go to him. If they are thinking about WLS. Be blessed Dr.Blaney and staff

Dr. Blaney is a down to earth caring individual, since the first time I met him I loved his personality and professionalism, His staff also shows caring for each individual, I would recommend him and the staff at Live Healthy MD to anyone that is seeking weight loss surgery or a weight loss program.
