George Mueller Bariatric Surgeon M.D.

Absolutely love Dr. Mueller and could not have been happier with my choice for him as my surgeon. He is honest, straight to the point, and incredibly easy to talk to. I felt very comfortable with him and he always made the time to talk to me and answer questions. His staff was very helpful although busy I felt very well cared for.

Dr Mueller is awesome! He is personable, confident and straightforward. He is a wealth of knowledge and has no problem sitting down with you and answering all your questions (no matter how long that might take). His staff is also absolutely FABULOUS! I've worked with other great doctors who have had poor staff, which made the overall experience a bad one - but not with Dr Mueller!! I can't say enough good things about Leti (the insurance coordinator, and in my case, my personal insurance hand-holder) and Laura (the nutritionist).

After surgery, I woke up from my sleeve gastrectomy surgery with no pain. Both Dr Mueller and his staff took an active role in overseeing my rescovery and my progress. I was really afraid that after surgery I would have been our on my own, but that is definitely NOT the case. I really have nothing bad to say about Dr Mueller at all. He rocks!!

The only thing that I didn't like as much was the hospital (Sharp Memorial). It wasn't a bad experience, but the nursing staff left a bit to be desired. But the overall hospital experience has improved quite a bit since I last stayed at Sharp Memorial a few years ago for a gallbladder surgery in 2008.

I would recommend Dr Mueller to anyone thinking about WLS, there is no better surgeon around! I went through surgery with virtually no pain at all and once I went home I never used the prescribed pain medication even once! In fact, I told friends that if I didn't have the incisions on my stomach, I would not have believed that I really had any surgery at all! I previously had a lap band surgery by a different local surgeon and the difference was night and day. I only saw that other surgeon a few times in 3 years with the lap band, had trouble getting questions answered post-op and I even felt like I was being judged when I didn't have the expected results with the lap band. However, I'm only 2 weeks post-op and I've already seen more of Dr. Mueller than I saw of that other surgeon in 3 years; Dr.Mueller throughly answered all my questions both pre-op and post-op; he and his staff provide wonderful support and everybody on his staff has been exceedingly helpful and friendly! Again, I recommend Dr. Mueller to anyone considering WLS!!!!

(The instructions with posting this review indicated that completely 100% positive reviews are not helpful and are even suspect. However, I truly, truly, TRULY have nothing negative I can say about Dr. Mueller. If I have to say something negative, I will say that he is bald. Wait....I can't say that, I'm mostly bald myself. So never mind, nothing negative to say!)

I first went to the seminar and was well educated. I thought the lap band was the way to go. All the way up to the first office visit. Then we talked about the VSG which to me was the least of my options. Then I realized it was the right choice for me. I have had a wonderful recovery. He was excellent in the office and the hospital. His personality really helps you feel like this is a "normal" thing we are doing. So the comfort I felt made it all so much easier. He definetely makes you feel like morbid obesity is so normal.

Dr. Mueller was great and have no regrets with the surgery. I had very minimal pain the 1st day and a half and than than felt great and was able to walk around the hospital hours after recovery and had a ver yfast recovery. I wouldn't change a thing.

I first fell in love with his great support staff! Then I met Dr. Mueller and realized why he had such great people around him. He is very personable and easy to speak with. He is very clear about his expectation for his patients. I would have liked more info on the following steps from him and possibly an acknowledgment of him doing the surgery. rnHe has a strong belief that the success relies on the after care program and the patients' committment . rnI know that he has been doing lap band for a little over a year and that obviously caused some concern. Knowing that he has been doing RNY for over 10 years with 99% of his procedures being laproscopic made me feel a lot more comfortable.

What a great guy he is! His bedside manner is very good, gentle and thorough. Hes very accessable and I dont have any complaints about him whatsoever.

I use to work with him when he was a Trauma Surgeon, I just adore his demeanor and bedside manner. The office staff is very friendly and helpful, though at times slow. They do offer alot of aftercare and encourage going anywhere you can that makes you feel more in sync...

It was not difficult for me to choose a surgeon. I have worked with George Mueller as a RN in the SICU for over 5 years. As a Nurse, you become very familar with the Docs, and how they administer care. You get to see first hand how they treat, esteem, and care for their patients. But even more than that as a RN, you also are wittness to their their geniune concern for their patients, as well as their skill, and knowledge level.

I was thrilled when I learned that George and begun performing this surgery. All doubt, immediately left as I now felt secure in my decision to proceed with the surgery, for now I knew I would have the best possible surgeon.

George has both superior surgical competency as well as a sincere, genuine caring bedside manner.

He did my lapband and is doing my lapband removal and my sleeve surgery. He has always been excellent and I am very happy that he is my doctor.
