David C. Voellinger Bariatric Surgeon MD,FACS, FASMBS

I cant say enough good things about him. his staff is made up of several bariatric patients. They take pride in keeping you on track, but it is still up to you.

Dr. V is likeable, approachable, professional, and focused. His staff are caring and kind. Aftercare is especially important in this practice which is one of the reasons I chose Dr. V. He was up front about the risks of surgery and spoke clearly and carefully about each area of our discussion. At this point, prior to surgery, I would recommend him highly.

My first impression of Dr.V was he seems to be a very nice doctor. He told me everything I needed to know about the surgery as well as life after surgery. All I can say is Dr. V is the BEST! The staff is wonderful! I can call or email them at anytime and they would be there for me. They are the best staff ever.

Dr. David Voellinger iof Southeast Bariatrics in Charlotte, NC is the surgeon who performed my my revision surgery. My original surgeon moved out of state andDr. Voellinger took over many of her patients. I sought his help after she had left NC and I started experiencing problems. rnrnHis knowledge of all types of WLS is commanding. He is very empathetic, has a good sense of humor----really cares about his patients. He is very thorough in the pre-op tests and instructions. He also has a structured after-surgery program, which my first surgeon didn't have. rnrnDr. V's office staff is comprehensive and wonderful--he has nutritionist, psychologist, and exercise physiologist all within his office. His recods and medical staff (Kim, Steffney, and Dawn) are excellent. The entire outfit has been very easy to work with--all calls promptly returned, etc. rn

Dr V. is a wonderful man, especially for being in the field that he is in. I've had several meetings with him and all have been pleasant. My first impression was that he will take care of me. He did my moms surgery as well. Office visits were great, it was dealing with some over the phone. I was the one calling in for information on where we were. Had my chest x-rays faxed three times, no one knew where they were. At least that is what was told to me. Had lab work done in May of 2006. Did not know that they had not received them until February 2007. Ironic isn't it???? Anyway overall I think I'm in very good hands..... I am finally scheduled for surgery on APRIL 16TH 2007!!!!!!!!! I'M SO VERY EXCITED ON THE BEGINNING OF THE REST OF MY LIFE.rnrnLOLrnMELODY 03/21/2007rnrnP.S. THIS IS MY EXPERIENCE, IT MAY NOT BE YOURS

Dr V. was excellent. We did develop a leak but he went right back in the next day and fixed it. He was very caring & concerned. He & his surgeon's assistant & nurse came by every day to check in on me. I was very impressed at all the attention I received from their office. I was in the hospital for about 7 days but they even continued to call me at home to follow-up with me. I am 3 & 1/2 months out and they still keep up with me. Their whole office treats you like family!

Amazing doctor.

My first impression of him was that he my be the answer to my prayers and it hasn't changed. His staff is wonderfull and most of them have had wls, so they already know how it emotional this process it personally. So far so good, there is nothing i don't like about him personally. Before, during and after, i know that i'm in the best hands. They are very well educated and they help you educate your self about everything you NEED to know. Yes they addressed the risks over and over. Overall i belive I'm in the best hands and i cant wait intil my surgery. I only wish they kept me more informed on what's takeing so long. But i think we all go threw that.

Dr. V was great! He answered all my questions at the initial seminar required before my consultation. He was very witty and gave a lot of information. I almost can kick myself for waiting to have my surgery! He seemed geniunely interested and helping me to get started on my weight loss journey!

First Impressions .. a very well run seminar, lots of good information presented in an efficient manner. First impression of Dr. V - TALL! He answered all my questions, was very articulate and I felt totally comfortable with him. His staff were all SUPER nice, and several have had WLS. I like the fact that they have a whole post-surgery care support system and EXPECT me to come back at least once a year forever. it's not just a committment for surgery, but for life. A++ !
