I have been a patient of Dr. Myers since 2000. He has done multiple surgeries on me, gallbladder surgery on my 16 year old son and gastric bypass on my husband in 2010. I can't say enough good things about him or his staff. He saved my life when another surgeon was insisting on performing emergency surgery on me immediately and Dr Myer stepped in and said I would die if they tried to do it then. Turns out he was correct. He knows his stuff! He always listens to the patient then decides WITH YOU what is best FOR you. His staff is caring and compassionate, which reflects back to their boss. BEST DOCTOR EVER!! Not enough stars to give him!

I love Dr. Meyers and his staff! They are friendly, knowledgeable, and have made this journey so much easier than I could have imagined.

I have been a patient of Dr Meyers since 2002 having had gastric by-pass surgery (GBS) then several hernia repairs over the next two years. He has an excellent bedside manner, his office staff is professional and considerate.

I lost over 125 pounds after my GBS and have gained over half of it back but I'm in a place of my life that I am happy with my weight and have been able to maintain this weight for three years. Anyone who has gained their weight back after GBS can only put the blame on one person ... themself. Dr Meyers makes it very clear that GBS is a tool, not the solution, for weight loss. If you go back to your old eating and exercise habits, you will gain the weight back.

I now need another hernia repair and an incisional repair (not related to GBS) and my first and only choice was Dr Meyers.

If you have been turned off by the \"cattle call\" atmosphere of the big WLS and would like to actually talk to your surgeon IN PERSON. check out Dr. Myers. He is warm, friendly and above all SMART. He is a surgeon's surgeon. Highly respected, very accomplished. I was more interested in his opinion, his advise and his skills than finding a program with all the bells and whistles. I felt at ease immediately. I wanted to redecorate his office (still do) get his staff to be a little more organized but none of that really matters. He and his staff seemed to really care. No gate keeper. I found at the bigger WLS centers, you must \"win\" over the secretary or Nurse in order to get anything to happen. With Dr. Meyers, the Dr. is always in. I found his pricing to be very fair. As far as making the pouch bigger. I doublt that is true. not sure what the good Dr. has to gain by making it bigger. rnrnGood luck to all.

I liked Dr. Meyers at first; however, I don't think I should have been liable nor charged for the anesthesiologists botched attempt to put me under. Cost my insurance $12,000+ plus my out of pocket expenses.rnrnMeyers makes the pouch bigger than most surgeons. I think this is wrong.rnrnI've gained some of my weight back. :(rnrnI think he was only in it for the money now, which is ashamed. He had a meat factory going in and out of there. The \"support\" meetings were strictly to get MORE surgeries for him.rnrnI'd rate him a 2 now.rnrn

Dr. Meyers' is great. I would reccomend him to anyone considering this surgery. I am usually skeptical of doctors and feel rushed by them, but I never got that impression from Dr. Meyers. His staff is a little off, but effective overall.

My first impression of Dr. Meyers wasn't actually him...it was his staff. I had all but decided to go with a really large group in Dallas that is well known for WLS but I was continually disappointed when the office failed to return my phone call, misplaced my paperwork and then sent me a marketing brochure as if they had never spoken with me.rnrnI called Dr. Meyers due to a reccommendation I saw on this web site and Lynn answered the phone. I think she could sense my nervousness, asked me to give her a minute to get to her desk and then basically gave me her full attention for about 15 minutes while I whined about the other doctors and asked all the questions I had been dying to ask.rnrnLynn, Tammy, Sharon and Deb are all WLS patients of Dr. Meyers. There is a comfort and a powerful statement in that fact for me.rnrnDr. Meyers is great....has all the right credentials (including bed side manner) and then some. rnrnDr. Meyers' has a full-care approach - including mandatory nutrition, fitness and support appointments prior to surgery. rnrnThe only issue I had was that following the seminar you have your first visit with the Dr. to get the ball rolling. I did not actually see Dr. Meyers during that meeting, but rather met with Dr. Wiltse, his assistant surgeon. Dr. Wiltse was great, but it would have been nice if Dr. Meyers would have at least stuck his head in the room to say hi.rnrnI would highly reccommend Dr. Meyers and especially his staff for anyone still looking.

My first impression of Dr. Meyers was great. I wasn't as nerves as I thought I would be. He didn't make my heart beat fast when he discuss the weight loss surgery with me. I left his office knowing that he would be the best doctor for me. His office staff is just wonderful and very friendly. They make you feel like you're special. I am really happy to know that most of his staff have had the weight loss surgery so they will know what I am going through because they have been through it too.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Meyers and his entire staff. I heard about him through coworkers that had a positive experience with him and I am so, so thankful I decided to have WLS with Dr. Meyers.
All but one of his staff have had WLS, so they are very understanding and compassionate as you go through the process. Because the staff has "been there" they take patient care personally and it shows. I'll stop now before it sounds like a paid endorsement but anyone in the DFW area considering WLS should definitely check out Dr. Meyers.
