David C. Voellinger Bariatric Surgeon MD,FACS, FASMBS

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

I have met with Dr. Voellinger once and I immediately liked him. He has these piercing blue eyes that are very comforting. He did keep me waiting for a while but that was because he wanted to get a post -op appt "out of the way" so he could spend more time with me. i had three pages of questions so that was the correct move to make. Immediately he cracked jokes about how many questions - and I loved it. (He wasn't judging...he was kidding!) He was so funny! The staff at the Presy Center for Bariatric Surgery is great. They are so nice and there is no judgement...it's just so rare.

The center is really pushing after care-which I love. They have a support group and an online group for exchanging emails. They have a newsletter.

I just couldn't be more excited about all of this. It's all falling into place!

The only negative feedback that I would give is about the doctor's assistant. He was...kind of...condesending...?? I don't know if that is the right description but something about him rubbed me the wrong way.

Dr. voellinger is great he i very caring and shows genuine concern , his nurses are great and even have had the surgery themselves his office staff is great and very personable though adminastration takes their sweet time filing he has you commit to a after care program as well he suggests pre op support as well as post op such as meeings and such he takes the the time to educate you and make sure you are fully aware of all risks he is very competent and has great bedside manner you will feel very comfortable around him if he ever finds a problem there is no hemmin and hawinn about it he does what it takes to correct it and does so on many occasions even if he is not on call he is there with you all the way and is the type to be there when you wake up holdin your hand so to speak to make sure you are ok I am very impressed he will not hesitate to call his mentor in mt. sinai new york to confer what is best for you also call so called experts all the way in italy to confer with them I speak of my own experience as mine was and is a delicate situation because of my situation

I was very impressed with Dr. Voellinger. A fellow patient of my PCP had lapband surgery and highly recommended him. It took me 9 months to get in to see him and get all the pre-op work/exams done. He is extremely busy and does about 4 WLS a week. His nurse Julie is excellent at returning calls and answering questions. I did have some complications after surgery. Dr. V quickly scheduled tests and performed a revision the next week.
