Drake Bellanger Bariatric Surgeon M.D., F.A.C.S.

Dr. Bellanger is awesome! He is a very nice and well mannered dr. He listens to you and answers your questions. When I was 2 days post op, I called his office with a question. He was in surgery. He called me back later that night and addressed my concerns! Not his nurse or staff,,he called me back,,,yes the surgeon! I felt re assured that my health was in good hands! Thats what I call top notch health care! His staff is great! I'm so delighted with my choice of physician.

Dr. Bellanger and his staff are excellent. Very professional and compassionate. Dr. Bellanger will listen to you and spend as much time as you need with him. He is great. He is a little quiet but he's waiting to answer your questions. I am very happy with my choice.

Dr. Bellanger is very nice. He is mild mannered and kind. He is a soft spoken but is very willing to answer any and all questions you have. His staff has been great. They are very friendly and will answer all your questions honestly and were very helpful. The hospital staff even bragged on Dr. Bellanger and assured me I was in good hands. I would highly recommend him to others.

my first impression was he was very quiet, great manners. he was very caring when i met him before and after the surgery.he asked how i was feeling and asked if i had any questions. His office staff were great but sometimes when i called ( i was out of town , 4 hrs away). it seemed as if they didnt want to help me out with appts. to work for me. the least thing i liked about dr. bellangers staff and associate staff was the whole process was done separate , you had the hopital, the clinic and the jefferson oaks evaluation to deal with. it seemed like they did not communicate to each other. They did emphasize the aftercare alot. he did give us all the risks about the surgery . he showed us a chart with all the risks and all the pros. i would rate him alone a 10 . my surgery turned out great so far i have no complaints. his surgical competence was really great.gotta go start living my new life . Thanks Dr Bellanger

Dr. Bellanger is a great doctor with a very good bedside manner and after care seems to be as important to him and his staff as the surgery itself. No concern is too small or too silly for them. Even though they do this everyday they know that each person doesn't. It has only been a month since my surgery but so far I am more than happy with the team I choose to help me with this journey. I'll let you know more later.

From the first office visit, I remember that Dr.Bellanger looked professional, confident, and answered all my questions. He made me feel comfortable. His office staff and the staff at St. Elizabeths Hospital were very nice, friendly and were there for me in a timely manner. His bedside manner was awesome. I owe my life to this man, plain and simple. I highly recommend him for this procedure.

Dr. Bellanger was very personable and professional. His office staff was nice and returned phone calls in a timely manner. they also are always willing to help with any questions. He has a 2 week post-op high protein supplement plan you can buy from him instead of searching all over for high protein drinks after surgery. I would rate him a 10 overall. From what I had researched his surgical skills where impeccable. He appears to be a little on the shy side.

My first impression was oh he's cute I'll trust him to take my stomach out and throw it away. He was wonderful, great bedside manner and compassionate which you don't see in very many md's I here to announce, I work with alot of them. The office staff was very polite and went out their way to help me when I was in need. He does emphasize that the surgery is a tool and a tool only, it's what you do with it how well your success will be. He did cover all the risk of the surgery and answered any questions I had. I would give him a 10/10 over all. Both his surgical competence and his bedside manner were great. There is nothing bad I have to say about him.

Dr. Bellanger is a great surgeon. He's not very talkative. He will answer any questions. He looks you in the eyes. He make you feel very comfortable. His office staff was great also. On a scale of 0-10. I would rate him a 10. He did a wonderful job surgically, and he has a great bedside manner.

All I can say. . . is that Dr. Bellanger is awesome!!!! He has been so supportive and so wonderful throughout my entire surgical experience. Dr. Bellanger has such a wonderful bedside manner and he has really earned a lot of respect from me by just listening to me and my concerns. I have never felt rushed or brushed over and he is so well versed in his field.rnrnI do find his office staff to be always rushed and not especially personable- but Dr. Bellanger himself - seems to make up for all of their short comings. rnrnOn a scale of 1-10, I would rank Dr. Bellanger- far off the charts. rn
