The hospital is real nice, and so are the staff. The only complaint I had was the man next door was talking so loud it was getting on my nerves.

Cassandra Blake for James Harris

Dr. Harris is straight-forward, no- nonsense. He is very upfront about the risks with bariatric surgery. He has done many open rny surgeries and has been doing the lap ones for about 2 years now. He will want to know exactly why you are wanting the surgery, and he will make you have a psychological evaluation and nutritional classes about post-bariatric surgery. He answers your questions thoroughly. His staff is very nice, from the few I have met. His office is busy. I liked most of all about him was his intelligence. I liked least I have only seen him smile like one time since I met him. lol Future patients should know to be ready for this surgery...he expects you to do research about bariatric surgery.. the benefits and the risks.and alternatives . I will take competence over bedside manner anyday...if I have complications he will know what to do..and that means a whole lot to me. He will be assisted by Dr. Tackett, FACS, another practicing surgeon in his group. (Coastal Carolina Surgical Associates, P.A.) I will have two skilled surgeons working on me. Dr. Harris will emphasize that the success is up to you. If you listen to him and follow his instructions you will be successful...with this tool that he gives you to help you lose weight.. it does not do the all of the work for you. Dr. Harris does not have a support group yet but they said they are working on it. I have not met Dr. Tackett yet.

meltedbuttr for David Miles

DR. Miles is a GREAT surgeon...The hospital staff couldn't say enough about how great he is and they were correct. When I first met with DR. Miles, I was extremely impressed with him. He's very strict with pre-op and post-op instructions which showed me what a good surgeon he is. He's very personable too which you don't find often in the medical community. I can honestly say from the time I woke up in the recovery room, I was not in a whole lot of pain. I was surprised at how well I actually felt. I was discharged the following morning. The little pain that I experience left by the fourth day and I felt as though I had never even had the surgery. I am now three weeks post op and three of my incisions are barely visible and the other four will soon catch up. My liver was really huge and caused DR Miles some problems during the surgery and this is the reason for the extra incisions. I feel my quick recovery was due to DR. Miles excellence. I WOULD RECOMMEND DR MILES TO ANYONE CONSIDERING THIS SURGERY...YOU WON'T FIND A BETTER SURGEON!!!!! He also has a great staff (Helen is the best), monthly support group meetings and a Nutritionist.

The first and last night I was there, the buzzer/bell to my IV(letting them know it needed to be replaced with a full one) went off for 55 minutes before a nurse came in to change it and that was only because I called for the nurse. These were just two problems I had with the hospital....There were plenty more. I will NEVER use this hospital in the future.

Erinn M. for New Hanover Regional Medical Center

ok.. i was really turned off by one thing.. my ivs for the pain gave me more pain then the surgery itself.. they had to reinsert the iv after a day and a half of the meds burning in my vains.. then it happened a second time untill i had to ask the nurse to just remove the iv all together and i would just deal with the pain.. and i still have bad bruises up and down my veins from this darned iv prob.. so that was really all that was wrong with the stay, other than that they were very compliant with my husband staying the 3 days with me, even gave me a private room.. so it was a small price to pay for the surgery...

Cindy B. for David Miles

My first impression of Dr. Miles is that he is a very thoughtful, caring, and informative doctor. His staff is wonderful and will answer any question, no matter how many times you have asked it.

Dr. Miles stresses the importance of support, education, exercise and nutrition. He adressed the risks of surgery fully.

I would give Dr. Miles a A+ rating; he seems to be a wonderful person as well as a wonderful doctor.
