"Even though I am not a patient of Dr Chasen he did my daughters RNY. I have attended some of the support group meetings in Augusta and I have been extremely impressed with him and the whole practice. I had WLS in 2008 and wish that I had made the trip to Augusta to have Dr Chasen do my surgery. He is very hands on and took wonderful care of my daughter. He also has great follow up (Don't even try to miss an appointment LOL) "
"Actually, Dr Sweeney is now in the Atlanta area with Emory Bariatric Center. He is listed on your site as being in Houston, TX.rnrnI was very impressed with him, he was very thorough and listened to mine and my husbands concerns and made sure that he told us possible complications. He told us his complication rate and mortality rate. rnrnEmory has a great structured aftercare program and surgeon told me of importance of participating. On a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the highest, I would rate him a 10. rnrnSurgical competence is most important. Bedside manner is nice, but you cannot die because someone does not have a good bedside manner. I am lucky that my surgeon has both! I am basing my opinion on research I have done on Dr Sweeney. I have not had surgery yet."
