Arthur Carlin Bariatric Surgeon M.D.

I first met Dr. Carlin at the Harper Hospital orientation. He seemed very knowledgeable and understanding. I was particularly impressed with the way that he took time to answer each individual person's questions in a manner that a lay person (or non-medical person could understand). My first consultation, however, was with Dr. Webber who also seems very bright, energetic, and caring. Although Dr. Webber was originally slated to perform my surgery, he was unfortunately sent to Iraq. Therefore, Dr. Carlin will be performing the surgery. The office staff is pleasant and helpful.

I just met with Dr. Bell. He was informative and answered all my questions. He wasn't in a hurry. He explained the surgery well.

The only thing I wasn't sure about is he said I will lose weight no matter what I eat. I met with a dietician the day before meeting with him and she advised that to lose the potential weight that I could, I need to still make wise choices.

I think wise choices in eating will is a part of my life and the way Dr. Bell talked was like it doesn't matter.

It turns out that the hospital where Dr. Bell performs the surgery is now reconsidering allowing the surgery to be preformed. They have haulted the surgery until further review. So... I have found Dr. Webber accepts my insurance and will be contacting him on Monday.

I met with Dr. Carlin - I like him - very personable. Shows genuine concern.
