Hi, I don't know anything about the Dr. you mentioned, but if you want a good Dr. in the Atlanta area who does the Lap RNY I know of a couple. One is Dr. Edward Waits out of Northside Hospital and another is Dr. Champion in Canton. They are on this website and also listed with the ASBS. If you can't find any info on your Dr., then you might try one of the others. I am seeing Dr. Waits.

Hello, Yes I just had my first appointment today with Dr. C Dainiel Smith. Although, I must say it was a very lengthy wait (2.5 hours) he was well worth it. I first talked to his assistant Dr. Alan Bradshaw a personable and professional young man. He took my history etc.. then he explained the process and program Dr. Smith wants his patients to follow. Next, Dr. Smith came in very apologetic for the long wait and he was very professional.Dr. Smith explained that his approach is very conservative because he wants to make sure all your test come back ok and this is what you truly want because it is a life commitment. Overall, let me say this surgeon's experience and background speak for itself he is cheif of gastroentestional surgery of Emory Hospital, but his genuine concern for my well being and health as patient was the most impressive. Dr. Smith has been doing RNY Laps since 1993, but was doing the procedure open long before at the Mayo Clinic, so he is very experienced. Finally,what better combination to have cheif surgeon in a top notched medical facility do my operation it's a win-win combination. Please feel free to e-mail me if you have any futher questions.
