Cabell Huntington Hospital (COE) Hospital

Excellent surgeon. Caring and compassionate.

Dr. Nease was very personable and had a great bedside manner. I am now 15 years out.

Dr. Nease is very kind, and knowledgable. I did not have any problems with the initial surgery.
I am now 7 years out and have started to regain, about 30lbs out of 115lbs lost. I have been trying to get an appointment with him since Nov 2013 and it has been rescheduled by his staff 3 times.
I now have an appointment in June, hope he can fix me.

THE CREME DE LA CREME. ALONG WITH GOD FIRST DR BLAINE SAVED MY LIFE. EXPERT IS WHAT HE IS IN HIS FIELD EXPERT. HIGHLY RECOMMEND , AND THE STAFF , AMAZING AND VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE

Very good doctor who really cares!

Ok, What can I say about this man?? He CARES!! Dr. Nease has been wonderful since the day I met him. I can't stress enough the amount of gratitude I have for him and his staff. They helped me start my new beginning and gave me the tools for success. They were a gift from God and I will always be thankful for that. God Bless Dr. Nease and his staff I will truly NEVER forget them for what they have done for me!

My first impression was that Dr. Nease is very focused. He want's his patients success and it is personal for him.

The staff are really sweet, Jackie Stanley is the first person you work with, she is the Insurance guru and she will tell you everything you need to accomplish to get your first appointment with Dr. Nease.

My surgeon was Dr Nease, from Huntington, West Virginia. My first impression of him was truly someone who cares about you and your situation. He tells you in the seminar why he originally got into this was due to a family history of obesity. I was very upfront and honest with me in our first visit and gave me a lot of information to digest but was willing to answer any questions I had. He does not push you through your visit, if you have questions he will stay in the room with you until he has answered and you understand everything. This impressed me. Although your scheduled appt. time may run over after your first visit you will understand why your an hour past your time and have not been called back yet. His office staff is above outstanding. One of his staff has had WLS herself and is willing to help you with anything or questions you may have. The dietitian is wonderful and understanding of your needs and situations that may differ in your case from others. His nurse is very calming and reassuring and has a great compassion toward obese people.I live 3 hours from his office and his staff and himself were more than accommodating to my schedule and comfort for appts and classes even on the day of surgery they were looking out for me and my family to arrange everything. On a scale of 1-10 Dr Nease and his staff are far off the scale .. honestly at least a 15! He has patients as far away as Arizona and California coming in to have surgery so that ought to speak louder than anything..... He is truly wonderful!

Dr. Nease is very impressive. He is a likable person, and really takes the time to inform you of every aspect of WLS.

I had heard very good things about Dr. Nease and decided to atend one of his seminars. I got a little irritated when one of his staff told me he won't do the surgery on a smoker. Great, another slam for being a smoker;) I almost left, but decided to at least stay and listen. I was very impressed with Dr. Nease. He goes over some of his family history and it's clear why he is so passionate about what he does. I knew by the time it was over, this was what I needed to do to improve my health. I am also extremely proud to say I gave up a 31year, 2 pack a day smoking habit! 1/29/10 will make a year. It's a long, slow process to eventually get everything done to have surgery, but it's SO worth it. Dr. Nease and his staff make sure that you're very well informed and educated prior to surgery, and have support groups to help before and after surgery. I was banded on Sept. 23,2009. Cabell Huntington Hospital has wonderful facilities and staff to assist you both pre and post op. Dr Nease is great in preparing you for surgery and in his visits after surgery. I've had several surgeries and this one went very smoothly. A lot in part to my knowing what to expect. I'm very happy with my decision and with my ongoing progress. If I had to say anything negative, it would only be that it's a very busy office and I usually have to wait quite a while when I go to my appointments, but to me, it's well worth the wait:)
