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

Dr.Bellanger and his staff have been wonderful any questions just feel free to ask.

He was great!

I met Dr. Bellanger today. He seems very nice, and very intelligent. He seems to know what he is talking about. I felt comfortable talking to him, and I trusted his opinion. His staff was reasonably nice, but I didn't interact too much with them. He told me all of the risks and benefits of the lap band and gastric sleeve. He didn't seem to hide anything. He was very candid and forthcoming. rnrnI hope all remains well. I'll keep you posted.

My doctor, his staff and the hospital were all awesome. I didn't feel like a hopeless fat person that their blood pressure cuff didn't fit, that their hospital gowns showed all of my behind, that I was alone in my fight with obesity -- everything and everyone was great. I am so happy that they do the vertical sleeve proceedure because I know this is what is best for me.rnrnNothing negative to say!

my first impression was that he seemed sincere.rnthe office staff is very busy, but very freindly and helpful.rnhe addressed the risk cut and dry. he explained what each risk was and how common the risk is with each surgery.rni would recommend dr. bellinger to anyone that is interested in weight loss surgery.rnboth competence and bedside manner are important to me.

My first impression of Dr. Bellanger's office and staff was wonderful! Everyone there is very friendly and will bend over backwards to help you.rnThe entire staff was very helpful and several staff members of Dr. Bellanger and Dr. Hargroder have had WLS themselves. Christy, Dr. Hargroder's Admin. Asst. has been a lifesaver for me. She had the VSG last year and has done so well. She has given me pointers and lots of helpful tips to increase my weight loss the \"right\" way.rnI can not say enough about everyone there!rnHolly, who is Dr. Bellanger's P.A. takes care of all the post-op visits (except the first one when the Doc likes to see you himself). She is very knowledgeable and willing to answer all your questions. She is just one of many friendly faces you will encounter if you decide to use Dr. Bellanger.

Dr. Bellanger was completely professional and seemed compasionate to my situation. He has always been pleasant to deal with. rnrnHe completed my surgery with no complications and he and his staff are always friendly and very supportive. rnrnThey answered all my questions and gave me plenty of information on top of what I asked. rnrnI had no doubts or fears going into surgery. rnrnI do not have any complaints at all. rnrnI have no trouble reccomending Dr. Bellanger and his staff to anyone in need of this type of surgery. rnrn

I thought the guy was a complete nerdy bookworm which was exactly what I wanted. Turned out, I was right...he knew his shit.The office staff had some room for improvement, seemed a little too relaxed, almost LAZY!! However, Im pleased with the outcome and would recommend him to others.Bellanger himself was the most talkative guy, he didnt offer alot of info, but if you had questions, he had answers. He almost came across as shy, or possibly intimidated by me...not sure.rn

Dr. Bellanger is a great choice for a surgeon. He is approachable and friendly and very concerned with his patients comfort. He answered all of my questions and understood all of my hesitations. He was clear in explaining all the risks and recommending a surgery for me. He is a skilled surgeon with a great bedside manner. His staff is friendly and knowledeable. Overall, I've had a great experience and would recommend him to anyone.

I used Dr Drake Bellanger and I just loved him!! He is as cute as they come and always smiling which is a comfort to me as I like happy people! He seemed very confident in what he does and he was very clean cut. He was open to any questions and did not make me feel rushed. I highly recommend Dr B to anybody having this surgery and I thank the lord for leading me to him!!
