Especially if you are having surgery with Duncan, Champion, Maynard, or Borrowes.
Sure, a surgon can have a jaded past and overcome it, but he was cutting on me, I definitely would want to address what he has done to improve his skills.
If you have another option for wls with a surgeon with a clean record, why even take the risk?
Just a thought for pre-ops to ponder...

Dr. Duncan's practice is Peachtree Bariatrics. Dr. Hobson and Dr. Jean-Pierre work with him. The website also indicates that a fellow named Dr. Karleena (sp?) Tuggle is with them too.
I believe both practices are on different floors in the same building.

Pulled Dr. Hixon's Medical Review Board report and 3 settlements are showing. Nothing other than that showing.
Pre-ops really should utalize the medical review board and internet to check for malpractice suits, patient complaints, etc.
link to his review board records: https://www.gaphysicianprofile.org/profile.ShowProfileAction .action?lic_nbr=037233
Maybe someone can clear this up for us. May make a difference in someone choosing a particular surgeon.
Any Dr. Hixon patients out there?
