Babak Moeinolmolki Bariatric Surgeon MD, FACS

I was very shocked to see all the positive feedback on doctor M. In the beginning he really had me fooled that he cared about my needs and that he would be there through the process. In the end he turned out to be on of the worst doctors I have ever dealt with. He was very unprofessional the day of the surgery and very arrogant. He was not concerned at all about any of my needs and failed to document the correct information in his files. Even though that information was not documented in his files the staff at GBMC tried to fix the situation and keep everything moving but the doctor was more focused on that people he felt that people were trying to say he was a liar because it wasn't documented. It was a simple miscommunication that was in the process of being fixed but he instead of working through this he got a very unprofessional attitude stomped out of the room, disapeared then came back and cancelled the surgery after the GBMC staff had already rectified the issue. Absolutely ridiculous. I wouldn't recomend him to anyone.

My first impression of doctor Mo was that he seemed very warm and sharpley dressed. That is exactley what he was and the staff was just as warm and caring. I liked every thing about Dr. Mo and the Comprehensive Obesity Management team. If your going to go to the gbmc comp program as a patient you need to know to relax you are in good hands . I'm just starting my follow up appointments but so far with my sleeve it's a monthly visit they want to continue to mark your progress without it being inconvenient as well as make sure you go to support groups. What I liked about his address about my surgery risk was it was personal only after we had our first meeting and he got an overall idea of my personal health picture did we get into all of my risks and benefits.On a scale of 1 to 10 I give him a 12. As far as which is better surgical competence or bedside manner I'd have to say both r extremely important. After all the bedside manner gets you in the bed and the surgical competence gets you out! Amen ?!

From my first consultation with Dr. Moeinolmolki back in September of 2010, I was confident that I was in good hands. From the first meeting onward he has always been very encouraging and supportive, but also very adamant about the work that I had to put in to achieve my goal of a healthier happier me. My parents and I were a bit nervous about me having surgery of this kind so young (I was only 20 years old when I had my VSG on 1/11/2011). But Dr. Moeinolmolki helped put our fears to rest. One thing I really like about Dr. Moeinolmolki is that he never shies away from the fact that although the surgery is what helps get the ball rolling it is merely a tool, NOT a magic fix. You have to be diligent in maintaining healthy eating habits and exercise! exercise! exercise! My experience going through the pre-surgery testing and classes as well as the actual surgery was stellar. Dr. Moe and the bariatric team at GBMC were all very attentive, extremely thorough, and exceptionally pleasant and friendly. After surgery, Dr. Moe came in to check on my progress frequently and in my follow up visits always made sure to ask after my well being and progress in my health as well as my life in general. Every time I have a visit with him I always feel very comfortable and confident that I can share my concerns or questions with him and receive helpful and nonjudgemental feedback. I also really love how much he seems to care about his patients and takes such pride in our personal accomplishments. He has always been very optimistic about my progress (even when I had my doubts in my own abilities) but has always been realistic about what my expectations should be and encouraging me to not try and chase an unrealistic ideal but to simply strive for attaining the healthiest "me" I can. I've learned a lot as a patient of Dr. Moeinolmolki and even now at 152lbs lost and 20 months post VSG, I still appreciate and enjoy his feedback and company when I come for my follow ups. Even now as I have progressed to the point of looking into plastic surgery to remove some of the excess skin I've been left with, he has been extremely helpful and eager to see me move on to this next phase of my weight loss surgery journey. He has recommended me to plastic surgeons to look into getting the skin removed and has even expressed interest in being there when I finally have my firs surgery done. I don't know what I would have done without such an involved and supportive surgeon along with me on this journey. My parents and I are very grateful for everything Dr. Moe has done to help make this major life change a little easier to navigate through. I'm quite happy with the quality of care and service I have received working with Dr. Moe and if any of my friends or family ever expressed any interest in considering some type of bariatric surgery I would recommend him to them for a consultation.

I don't know why it has taken me so long to write a review for Dr. Moe. He is the best doctor that I have ever had! I wish he specialized in every medical discipline! LOL Seriously, he is a very compassionate doctor who really cares about his patients and not just the final weight loss. He wants you to be healthy in all areas of your life. He has the best bedside manner and is extremely responsive to whatever is going on with you. I would hightly reccommend Dr. Moe. As a matter of fact, although my surgery was almost 4 years ago, he is still very much involved in helping me to be my best.

I had my surgery on December 29, 2011 and Dr, moe did an Outstanding job, I feel like I never under went surgery, my pain is .......Oh there is none, his techniques, and skills are out of this world. My family and friends said WOWWWW who was your surgeon, he did a great job! I had my 1st post op appt today and I asked him " How do you manage to do surgeries, see your patients after surgery while in the hospital, speak at weight loss seminars, meet with new pre op patients on their appts, and manage to stay, healthy, nice looking, and spend time with your family. This man is to be trusted to anyone who is having Weight loss surgery, He is a tell it like it is kind of guy, and I truly appreciate it, Plus he said that I am doing great!! Thanks again Dr. Moe, me and my family are truly grateful to you!

Dr. Moe was great surgery went well and he saved my life recommend him to anybody for wls. Thanks Dr. Moe.

I first thought that Dr.Mo was a bit cold and rigid.I found over time that he wanted to make sure I understood the serious nature of the decision I was about to make and what would be required of me if I went foward.He seems to really care about his work,patients,and the life changing impact it can have on their lives and wants us to experience that.I had gastric bypass surgery in April 2010 and have lost about 140 lbs.to date.All of the staff in the bariatric dept.of Greater Baltimore Medical Center was friendly,professional,and put you at ease.They have a structured aftercare program and you are encouraged to join a post surgery support group. The dept.has been given an award as the Bariatric Society's Center of Excellence Award many times.I would highly recommend Dr. Mo and G.B.M.C. for weight loss surgery or to answer questions .

I first met Dr. Moeinolmolki at the information seminar that is required before you can make your first appointment. From that moment I knew this was the DR I wanted to do my surgery. He was a no BS kind of guy and I absolutely love that about him. He doesn't sugar coat things and he gives it to you straight up and simple. He tells you exactly what he wants from you and he wants you to be truthful when you tell him if you are gonna do it.
The 6 months it took me during the pre - surgical appointments felt like it took forever but every month I met the guys there at the office and although there was one person that seemed to be kinda icky all the time (don't worry she no longer works there) everyone there was AWESOME. I love Kate my Nurse Practictioner. I love Rebecca my Dietician. I love Nick the adorable male nurse that always was there with a smile. I loved the whole crew there and Dr. Moein was the icing on the cake.
One thing I can say about Dr. Moein is he does not play. If you are not serious about your journey then he is not the doctor for you. He does everything to make you succeed and as long as you listen to him then you will go above and beyond where you want to go. He makes absolutely sure you know what you need to know in every single manner. He will never leave you in the dark in any way what so ever. When he sits down with you and talks to you about anything he speaks to you like a respected individual, not like a child, but he makes absolutely sure you understand everything he is saying as it is very important.
My husband was a very big part of my surgical journey and as a nurse he had alot of questions in regards to the whole proceedure. I was thrilled when Dr. Moein actually sat down with my husband and spoke to him personally in regards to the real time issues and future problems versus the benefits of the surgery I was having. He told us the truth and held nothing back. When I made my decision it was b/c I knew everything option and everthing that could possibly happen.
I just saw Dr. Moein for my 1 year follow up and he called me on my goof really fast. I'd made a bad mistake and he pulled me right in about it. I respect him greatly for this b/c it's something that in future years could cost me serious injury and it is easy to fix now versus later.
I would refer any one that wants a great DR with great knowledge. Dr. Moein will help you in every way he can, but be warned, you really do have to learn how to re-live again and not even Dr. Moein can help you prepare for that.

Dr. Moe is very honest and understanding, and he gets the job done! I am so blessed to be with such a caring and loving team of people! They really show interest in all of there patients, and I feel like they are my family! Thanks to the Comprehensive Obesity Team at GBMC! You guys are the best!

Thank you Dr. Moe for the consult we had before my surgery. I have Faith in your surgery skills and think you are a caring Dr. see you in Dec. for my surgery.
