Surgeon left!

yes i was waiting on an approval and found out the surgeon left so my packet wasnt submitteda now im having to change surgeon::((( the bad part is i had to call myself to find out they didnt call me. so if u run into dr.eric pinnar u better run because he has a history of just picking up leaving and i tried to give him the benefit of doubt

Wow that really sucks... Sorry to hear that

 Wow! Sounds like you may be better off finding another surgeon and program!

Best find a doctor associated with the Emory Hospital/University Bariatric Program/Center

i was trying to stay close to home. how is dr.michael baptista in jax fl? i researched him at fiest but chose the other doctor because they had a local office.

Sorry about your luck. I loved my surgeon.....Steven Hodgett at Baptist Medical Center in downtown Jacksonville. I am so happy and am 1 year post op. I got back on Tuesday for my 6 month check up. Good Luck!

And remove his name from your profile as the surgeon!

how do i remove his name as my surgeon? i tried earlier.

Wow! I'd have some really ugly words for him and his practice. :( My sympathies to you...and good luck continuing your quest to find a good surgeon!!

It sounds like you lucked out, as there are several reviews on his profile here from people who self-paid for a band and lifetime fills that he walked out on. There are others out there with a similar profile of frequent moves, so let that be a red flag. In the current business environment in the medical field it is not unusual to see a practice split up, but if you run across a doc who has been changing practices (and states!) every year or two - run, don't walk, away.
