D. Blaine Nease Bariatric Surgeon M.D., F.A.C.S.

Dr.Nease is the most caring doctor I have ever met. He really treats you like he honestly cares how you do after the surgery. He doesn't just treat you like a number or more money to line his pockets, like a lot of doctors seem to do anymore. His office staff are all the same way, they really DO care. I liked them all, and have nothing bad to say about my whole experience with them so far. I have complete confidence in Dr.Nease and his staff. My surgery went very well, and I have only had one minor complication. I got a MRSA staff infection in one of my incision sites, but with proper care from Dr. Nease and the right antibiotics, it healed very nicely!rnI would recommend Dr. Nease and his staff to anyone! As a matter of fact, I already have recommended him to some family members looking into this surgery and some friends also.

Before I attended the initial seminar I was still largely unsure about surgery, by the end of the seminar I knew that surgery was a necessary step for me, and that Dr.Nease was the surgeon I wanted to see. rnrnMy first impression of Dr.Nease was that his biggest concern was for the patient, he was bluntly honest, a trait I like someone who is going to be cutting into my torso to have, that instantly won my trust and respect. At this point he has my complete faith. rnrnHis staff has been completely amazing from the very beginning of this process, they do absolutely everything they can to inform patients about surgery and post-op care and life changes that come with surgery to the point of giving patients lists of food/drink items that are apropriate through each phase of post-op diets (my phase 2 list is still on my refrigerator for some reason...maybe im just lazy.) Both the dietary and medical classes are incredibly detailed and thurough. If I have any questions about medications or foods, that information is at my disposal here at home. rnrnOn May 19th 2006 I turned 23, had surgery on May 30th, on Sept. 8th I had lost 84lbs, im writing this on Sept. 21st and for the first time since I was 17 I weigh under 350lbs.rnrnI've heard alot of people say that Dr.Nease gave them a 2nd lease on life, but after being plagued by a lifetime of obesity I never had a lease on life to renew, I feel alive for the first time in my existance. Thank you Dr.Nease, Tabitha, Marsha, Kim, and my nurses (whose names I feel horrible for not remembering) for being the people that you are and doing the jobs that you do, the gift you give is life.

Dr. Neases office staff is very helpful and nice, The nutrition class is very interesting and helpful also I was well informed. Be makes sure if this is what you want to do. So far I am very happy with Dr. Nease.

My first impressionn of Dr. Nease was he was very kind and he cared. I wouldn't have wanted any other doctor to have done my surgery.

When I first met Dr Nease I felt that there was hope for me. The more I got to talk to him the more certain I was about having the surgery. Him and his staff was great and I felt safe with him doing the surgery. I would recommend Dr Nease to anyone who had doubts about having the surgery just go and set in on one of his seminars and her will change your mind. He pushes you to keep all follow up appointments and to stay on your diet.

My first impression of Dr. Nease was, "Gosh, he's so young, younger than me and I'm 37" But after I went to his seminar, I knew that I wanted Dr. Nease to perform my surgery. He is down to earth, and seems to really care about his patients. His staff is so informative and takes the time to answer all of my questions, even when I call several times a day.
Dr. Nease has discussed the pros and cons of the RNY surgery and has been totally upfront.
His office just sent the insurance the packet for the approval, so within a few weeks I should know something for sure.
I will keep you updated on Dr. Nease after my surgery.

The above message was written in Sept. 2002. I'm 3 1/2 years post op and I am very satisfied w/ Dr. Nease and his crew. I still will email them about any concerns and they still remember me (even though he has had over 500 patients from several states) and will always answer my questions. I owe Dr. Nease for saving my life. I have lost a total of approximately 150 pounds and I feel great. THANK YOU DOCTOR NEASE!!!!!

The Diet Pepsi man. I think he is great, he gave me a new out look on life. One that my children will benefit from. The office staff is awsome. Dr. Nease has a great bed side manner which alot of doctors forget about. When I went to the seminar I thougt wow he has a full understanding of what obesity could do to your family. I also feel that Marsha and Tabitha are what makes this process all run. They are one great team. And by the way the tube DIDN'T HURT>>>>

The first impression of dr nease is that he is a very intelligent person who cares about the people he deals with. The staff is great and very reliable, he went over everything I needed to know and would recommend anyone to him. can't wait to get this thing started.

My husband and I are so very impressed with Dr. Nease. I have learned so much, and looking forward to him being my surgeon. He is very honest and caring. He makes you feel like you are his only concern, and that he will always be there for you.

Well my first impression of Dr.Nease at the seminar was that he really seemed to care about what he was doing.During the whole seminar I was glued on what he was saying.8/26/05 Today I had consult with Dr.Nease.First thing I noticed about him and his staff was they were friendly and very helpful.I am glad that Dr.Nease is the one that is going to be doing my surgery.
