"I'm only rating three stars because although the staff is VERY friendly and nice appointments take long and even though I have provided them with all of my required documentations they have yet to submit anything to my insurance company. I was told I have an advocate but although I have left them a message they have never called me back and I have never met them.
My initial appointment was 3/30/17 and I already had been seeing a registered dietitian since 1/9/17 and I have already seen a psychiatrist, had an upper GI, spoken with the dietician and his PA. they have my recommendation from my PCP, my labs and recent EKG, provided records from my medically supervised diet and they haven't sent my request to my insurance and I have never met either my doctor nor my patient care advocate. It really concerns me because despite all of the issues I have had with my lapband, my previous doctors office had this process down to a science. I was both approved and scheduled for surgery within 32 days of my first doctors visit. they kept great track of all of my records but with this office they don't seem to have things in order. Their dietician couldn't even see documents I brought in with me on the very first visit!
I will continue to blog about my journey with Peachtree Bariatrics and Dr Duncan, if I ever meet him. I hope to have an exciting journey and for things to progress and move along promptly. STAY TUNED!!

"I saw Dr. johnell on April 28th I saw the nutritionist and psychologist on April 30th. EVERYONE in the office is GREAT. Vanessa called me and kept me informed every step of the way. Gina the nutritionist is a Rock Star. At my manadatory pre-op class on May 19th Vanessa let me know that I had just gotten approved and was scheduled for surgery on May 29th. What can I say about them but God Bless Them ALL! I was in and scheduled in 30 days! rnDr Johnell made me feel as if he really cared about my quality of life. They not only have structured after care I know I can call on them for what ever I need. HE was very frank about the risks and complications that may arise but I am more then confident in his skills.rnrnI rate Dr. Johnell and his ENTIRE team a 100 out of 10. They treat me as an individual and act like my personal cheerleaders! Going to that office is better then going to Disneyland!"
