Nothing against the doctor here, was disappointed that I got a bill in the mail after I paid for an initial visit with my credit card. I also had received bad direction regarding my insurance coverage. I DON'T have to do a six month documented diet and exercise plan like they told me was necessary. Things seem to have worked out for the best as I have found a surgeon I am very comfortable with (I like as well as Dr. F.) and most all of my costs will be covered as this surgeon is in-network.

I went to the seminar on July 16th and knew immediately I wanted Dr. Lahmann as my surgeon. The meeting was very informative and I was about 75% sure at that time that I wanted to have surgery, after the seminar I was 100% sure. I had my first consultation 8/06/08 and although I had to wait for over 30 minutes beyond my appointment time, I was thoroughly impressed with his dimeanor. He apologized profusely for the wait and he listened to all my concerns. I was suprised at how much younger he seems in person. He has a sense of humor and made me feel very comfortable. It was a great experience. The program he offer seems to provide support in all areas and I look forward to my surgery date.
All I have to say is Dr. Lahmann is a life saver. rnHe saved my life in more ways than one, I have grown to know him very well and trust him with my life..rnThanks Doc!!!

He is a really easy going guy and he was been very hopeful with my surgery being approved. His insurance girl Donna is great!!
He seems to care about his patients and really knows what he is talking about when talking about his profession. I have only talked to him on two different occasions, I am sure that I will have more to say later.
From the very first seminar I knew that Dr. Lahmann was the right surgeon for me. He has a wonderful ability to put you at ease and make you feel that helping you get healthy is a #1 priority for him. He is extremely informative in his field and sympathetic to all of the physical, social and emotional problems of those suffering from obesity. No problem is too small or too big for Dr. Brian Lahmann. He will take the time to answer any and all of your questions with patience. As someone who has seen a plethora of doctors in her time, I can honestly tell you he is one of the best doctors I have ever had. Both his surgical competence and bedside manner are stellar. If you are looking for a terrific surgeon, Dr. Brian Lahmann is your doctor.
If you're looking for a knowledgeable & great doctor? You must meet Dr. Lahmann. Always able to answer any questions & your doctor's visit is never rushed. rnMy surgery was completed by Dr's Brian Lahmann & Christopher Joyce. And their staff is awesome! :>)rnrnrnrn
Dr. Lahmann let me know from Day 1 that I was part of the family, which is the truth. He is very understanding and helpful when it comes to his patients. He explained everything carefully and made me feel comfortable with understanding the entire process. His staff is just as gracious, understanding and helpful. He is a wonderful surgeon and was highly recommended to me as well. I approve!!! Oh yea, he also has a very good sence of humor. Thank you Dr. Lahmann.
