I can't really comment much on Dr. Hargroder due to the fact that I had very little interaction with him personally.
I met with him for my initial consultation and everything else was handled by his office staff.
The next time I spoke with Dr. Hargroder was after I had surgery. And, he was doing his rounds.
I think I spoke with his PA more than him.
So, I can't really comment much.
My Surgery was a success. His office staff is wonderful. And my hospital stay was excellent.
I would recommend him to anyone I know that is having surgey!!!
Dr. Bellanger is an excellent surgeon and he really cares about his patients. He patiently answered all my questions and we talked about my fears. When I left his office I was confident that I had made the right choice of surgeons and operations. His assistant Holly is excellent also.
The NeWeigh office is great too! All the people are caring and really want you to succeed. They handle the aftercare groups once a week. Dr. Bellanger stresses that it is very important to attend the meetings.
Vista hospital and ALL of the people who work there are great! The nurses and the nurses aides, the physical therapist, the pulmonary therapist, and the phlebotomist are all excellent.
I think that Dr. Bellanger gets an A+!
Dr. Bellanger was great. He didn't rush my husband and I at all at our first meeting. He answered all of questions and then took the time to ask if we had anything to add or ask. His staff at Neweigh was wonderful. I feel very comfortable with my decision to go through Neweigh and have Dr. Bellanger as my surgeon. I am waiting for my pre op visit and a surgery date.
Dr Bellanger has a wonderful bedside manner.
He took the time to explain to me all aspects of WLS Good and Bad. He is not one to sugar coat this life decision.Talking with him and his staff helped me to understand the changes that I would have to make in my life.
In my opinion he is the best.I am so happy that he performed my surgery!
Thank's Dr Bellanger!!!!
Well, I have changed from Dr. Gary Stevens in Lafayette to Dr. Andrew Hargroder in Baton Rouge (Plaquemine). The funny, yet good, thing about his program is that the medical group that he works under (he uses two actually) does most of their stuff online. I won't physically meet Dr. Hargroder until one-two days prior to surgery. Well update - I met Dr. Hargroder and he has lived up to everything that others have said about him. The man is wonderful and caring, and his staff is just awesome. I would recommend anyone I knew to him. Even his nurses had surgery the same time I did, and if your nurses is willing to let you work on them - that says a lot. He is wonderful and truly a blessed surgeon. I rate him at 100%.
My first Impression was that he was very nice. He has GORGEOUS eyes...LOL
He seemed very understanding & Professional.
They were all very nice. Most of them are "little sisters" so they have been through it and know how you feel!
He puts VERY stront emphasis on aftercare!!!
Yes he has a structered aftercare program.
He was straight forward and to the point. I LIKED THAT!!
On a scale from one to 10 he would be a 10!

I LOVE Dr. Bellanger! Every visit before the surgery and especially after the surgery made me more positive that I had made the perfect choice in surgeons. He was always upfront and honest. He never made me feel rushed or foolosh for asking questions and for the first time in a LONG time, I felt I was important and not being ridiculed due to my weight.
