I have met Dr. Blaney 1 time for my initial consult. He was so laid back, i knew i was going to love him. I felt like a person not a number. His office staff are so incredibly sweet, and helpful!! I will post more as i have more appointments with him!
Dr. Blaney and his entire staff is AWESOME!!! Always there to answer any question or handle any concern. Felt comfortable from day one with Dr. Blaney and his staff. What a wonderful group of people!!!
When I first met Dr Blaney I thought here is a compassionate dr who is interested in his patients. He demonstrates this consistently whenever I see him. He is a great surgeon as I came through the surgery great and have had continued success as well as his support throughout everything so far. In the beginning he covered everything regarding the risks, and the outcome. The aftercare is great as he makes suggestions regarding vitamins and protein supplements to take. I knew from going to the first support group meeting in seeing him attend that you can tell he is interested in each of his patients having a successful outcome. WE didn't come all this way to fail and he is cheering each of his patients on from the sidelines I feel very lucky to have found such as great DOCTOR in Dr. Blaney.
What can I say about Dr. Blaney and his staff? I simply think they are the best.rnrnI was nervous about meeting with Dr. Blaney for the first time, but he immediately put me at ease with his calm manner, and a great smile.rnrnEducation about WLS is a very important component of Dr. Blaney's practice. He and the staff want you to be well informed about the process from start to finish and aftercare. rnrnI attended an informational meeting, and a family meeting at which he showed us an actual operation of the lap band, and the RNY. My husband and mother were in attendance, and were very impressed with Dr. Blaney, as they asked lots of questions and he answered them all.rnrnI am looking forward to having the Lap Band on June 30, 2008.rnrnThanks Dr. Blaney for helping me help myself.
Doctor Blaney, and his staff have been great and very helpful to me. I can say enought about the assistance and support I have received. I request infortion 24/7 and no matter what time I email, I get a response back in less that 30 min.....I am so excited abou this..................WOO....WOOOOO.
Dr. Blaney is the best doctor I have ever come in contact with. He is caring and makes you feel very important, and you can tell that he truly has an interest in helping people to improve their quality of life. Dr. Blaney is amazing! Thank you Dr. Blaney for everything!rnrn
I first met Dr. Blaney at St. Joseph Hospital back in 2004 as an employee. I knew that this surgeon had the skills necessary to do wonderful things. Dr. Blaney does his best to make sure you truly understand the process and what you are about to undertake. Gastric by-pass isn't a quick fix, it's truly a lifestyle change. I am grateful for Dr. Blaney and know that he will continue to make a difference in so many lives that he encounters.
Dr. Blaney was very likeable and had a great bed side manner. Dr. David Crist did my actual surgery, retired and I was assigned to Dr. Blaney for my post ops. He was very professional and didn't make me feel uncomfortable. I could discuss anything with him and not feel intimidated by him. It was conversating with a good friend. Now he is part of my family. I'm sure anybody wanting bariatric surgery could depend on Dr. Blaney for everything. He is very busy, and sometimes I just want to shake him. I got very sick 2 1/2 years after my surgery, due to the surgery itself, and he actually saved my life. I rate Dr. Blaney a 10 overall on surgical competence, bedside manner and good looks.
