Michael W. Blaney Bariatric Surgeon MD, FACS, FASMBS

DR. Blaney at Trinity hospitail in Augusta GA. I found myself a DR. I could relate to with a nice bedside mannor. If you are concidering surgery look around for one you like you do not have to settle. He's kind and quite,and knows what he's doing. I truly believe God sent him to me I had been to so many DR. who just talked about money but he was a real person and talked to me about the surg. and showed the entire procidure himself. I really liked that Thank you DR. Blaney.

At first I was not so sure I was going to like him but after a few meetings I must say I really do like him. His bedside maner is really caring and he is funny too. Plus, he is really easy on the eyes.

My first impression of Dr. Blaney was that he was very caring, Very through. Was very happy to allow me to attend pre-op visits with a friend futher along in the process. My impression of my Dr. has not changed. I am more impressed with him now than before. His office staff is very friendly and professional. Future patients should know that he is very caring and conserned. My surgeon emphasizes aftercare at every visit. He also has a patient liason who contacts you by email about support group meetings and other activities. Some staff memembers have also had lap-band and gastric bypass so they understand what we are going through. My sergeon and I discussed the risks in great detail. I would rate him as a very good doctor. I would reccomend him very highly. I would have to say that both his bedside manner and his surgical competence are great.

Dr. Blaney and his staff was great. Dr.Blaney and his staff are really concerned about their patients. Surgical competence,bedside manner were great.There is a structured after care.

All of my experiences with my surgeon and his staff have had a positive impact on my life. I look forward to updating this information as needed.

Dr. Blaney is a doctor for the right reason he truly cares for people and doing whatever he can to help them gain control our lives again. Dr. Blaney has a wonderful staff that really gets what you are going through, part of the reason is so many of his staff has had wls . I also felt like he helped my family understand what i was going throughand the changes I would indure, which i think your family needs to understand everything so they can provide you with more support. Dr. Blaney is a wonderful doctor that has such a kind heart.

I first saw Dr. Blaney at a Info Seminar at that he and his staff have monthly. I did not know if I cared for him at first. He seemed a little too good looking and a little too cocky. Although, the Info Seminar was very informative and I was impressed by his emphasis on education and aftercare. The seminar covered all the basis and I made that first phone call the next day. rnAfter my first appointment, I realized I had been unfair to Dr. Blaney, and that he really was a very caring doctor. He spends an hour with his patients at the initial appointment to make sure you understand the different surgeries, the risks, the responsibilities, and to make sure you are a good candidate. rnHis staff are great. I was apprehensive about the appointment, but from the receptionist to the nurse, they treat you with respect and dignity.rnI think that Dr. Blaney is the best. His bedside manner is wonderful, he is funny and caring. As far as the surgery, everything seems to have went wonderfully.

Dr. Blaney is a great surgeon! I saw 2 other doctors before I went to Dr. Blaney, they weren't very friendly, didn't run the tests like he does before you have surgery, and I liked Dr. Blaney after talking to him, he explained it all very well, and I knew he was the one I wanted to do my surgery, if your considering surgery, definitely consider him!

My first impression of him was he is nice, down to earth, and caring. He also tells you everything you need to know there are no surprises with him. His office staff is great too they are all very nice, helpful, and if you have any questions they are more then happy to answer them. They all make you feel comfortable you never feel out of place. As a surgeon I would rate him a 10. I don't think you could ask for a better surgeon. His surgical competence and bedside manner are both great. Dr. Blaney and his team also hold a support group meeting once a month at the hospital.
