Taesun Moon Bariatric Surgeon M.D.

I know this says New Hartford for Dr. Moon, but he is located in Saranac Lake.
I haven't officially met Dr. Moon yet, but I have seen/said hi in passing in the hospital (I work there). I'm very excited to formally meet him!

Dr. moon is now up north (Saranac Lake)rnThe Frist impression of him was really good he's a people person,nice.rnrnThe staff was great..rnrnfuture patients: Give him a chance i know he's new up here but he know what he's doingrnrnrnsurgical competence, bedside manner,are all very inportant

Dr. Moon is the only surgeon as far as I am concerned. He saved my life and my emotional well-being in the process. He is the most kind and caring physician I have ever met in my life. He is unique and irreplaceable. I was sad when he moved from Horseheads to New Hartford. Now that I have found him I may just travel to be seen by him if possible. He is so fantastic he pratically has a groupee type follwoing here in Horseheads. There is none like him. I has referred so many people to him.

Does anyone know where we can find Dr Moon now that he's no longer at Arnot? I would really like to continue my care with him. I'm willing to travel. Please contact me or reply as I'm sure many others would like to continue their care with him as well. rnHe's an amazing Dr and I trust him completely. He made me feel so confident that everything was going to work out great and made me feel very comfortable with all my most intimate/personal questions. I'm five months post op now and I'm due for a followup in Jan. I've lost 68 pounds and I couldn't be happier!

My first impression of Dr. Moon, was that he was caring, understanding, and assuring of the pro's and con's of having the surgery. I felt very comfortable with my choice of having a laporscopic RNY. My first impression of Dr. Moon has not changed, he is no longer affiliated with the hospital where I had the surgery, and I wish him the best luck on his next adventure. Very caring MD before the surgery, he provided great care after my surgery, and post - op visits. I would rate Dr. Moon a 10....I love my results from the surgery. I felt like he was qualified in both areas of bedside manner and surgical competence.

I really love Dr. Moon. He has the best bed side manners and he is so pleasant. My impression has never changed about him from day one I was happy with him from the day I met him. He also has proformed my scope test which went so smooth better then when my gastro. doctor did it. Dr. Moon did my surgery plus many others I've talked with. Everyone that I've talked with has been so happy with him. I'm sad to know he is no longer with Arnot and I hope he stays in the area and I can see him as my acting doctor. I wish we had more doctors like him!

He has always been friendly and professional. Courteous and kind. Very satisfied with my choice this far.rnrnUPDATE: I am now post op and home. Dr. Moon made this whole experience so much better for me. He made me feel so comfortable, and eased my wories when I was terrified in the hospital. I could not have asked for a better surgeon. Very knowledgeable, and great at what he does. If he is an option for you, he is the way to go.

Dr. Moon is very personable. The staff is very helpful through the whole process. I was debating between a lapband or RNY and Dr. Moon thoroughly explained the positives and negatives of both options. I thought every thing through for one month before making the decision that the RNY would be the better choice for me. When I returned to Dr. Moon to relate my decision he asked me my reasons for that decision. When I gave him my explanations, he said he totally agreed with everything I said and also recommended the RNY. The insurance company denied my surgery on the first go round and Dr. Moon was right on the phone with the director of my insurance company and then called me directly to bring me up to date. He went to bat for me and got the surgery approved in the long run. I would highly recommend him for anyone in the area considering a lap RNY.

My first impression was very good-- Dr Moon has wonderful manners and temperment. He was so reassuring during my upper GI test and was very prompt to call me back with the results. He explained everything carefully and made sure I understood.

Dr. Moon is clearly very competent and kind, and this impression has not changed at all since my first visit with him in Aug. '07. I am scheduled for surgery on Dec. 7, 07, so this process has been fast and not at all problematic. The office staff (especially Angie, Sandy, and Colleen) has been just as wonderful as Dr. Moon - so far an all-around excellent experience. I am very hopeful that the lap gastric bypass will go just as perfectly as all of the pre-op care. When I first met Dr. Moon, it made me nervous that he had just started out doing the surgery a year ago, but he showed how competent and knowledgable he is, making any worries I had go away. After my endoscopy with Dr. Moon, I was even more confident that I had chosen the right surgeon - he was efficient and kind throughout the process. In regard to the aftercare, it is very structured and does not leave the patient feeling left out in the cold wondering what to do, as is the case with other offices that do weight loss surgery. Dr. Moon stressed the importance of following the aftercare program and relying on the staff at Arnot Medical for support and information. I would very highly recommend this doctor and his staff to anyone considering this surgery.
