My first impression wasthat Dr. Mailapur was very attentive and knowledgeable about my procedure. His office staff is great and very upbeat. Dr. mailapur is very strict and will continually emphasize the things that he espects of you. He is very concerned with making sure you are happy with him and his staff and wants to make sure he and his staff have provided you with everything you need. One thing I like best about him is, even tho he has hundreds of patients, he always remembers you personally. He remebers little personal things about you. This is impressive to me because I don't feel like just another number. rnI especially like the fact that he will give me a hug at the end of the visit to let me know he is proud of me and that he cares about me and my continued success.rnSurgical competence was what i was looking for. My surgery was a complicated one because of another procedure that Dr. Mailapur had to do before my bypass.He had only performed this particular procedure 6 or 7 times in the past. This made me for a higher risk candidate, a higher risk of complications and longer surgery time. rnKnock on wood, I had no complications, my surgery was a complete success and one year post surgery, I am exactly where I should be. rnI placed my life in Dr. Mailapur's hands and he passed with flying colors. He is very competent and I would recommend him to anyone wanting weight loss surgery. He will not do the surgery if he is not 100% sure that you are a candidate.
My insurance only covered this Dr because I work in the hospital. I have been so happy with the care from Dr Mailapur. I had compications in the hospital with a twisted/swollen bowel and when they did the tests he was right there by my side. My case was unusual and he even contacted his mentor about me because I was different from his hundreds of other cases. He wanted my opinion on the psycologist that he refered me to and the support group. He is very caring and conserned about the well being of his patients. He insructed me on the after care, and how this is a tool to help me not a quick fix to weight loss. I would recommend Dr. Mailapur to anyone considering this type of procedure.
The OR team was very experienced, esp. David, my CRNA who put me to sleep. Wonderful staff from the receptionist on down. All friendly and very helpful in making this a painless experience.
When I first met Dr Mailapur at his siminar I knew that he was the right doctor for me. He is such a caring person and really interested in your questions and concerns. His staff is always willing to listen even if you have called and bothered them 10 times that same day. Dr Mailapur is very up front and honest about any risks with the surgery and makes sure you understand everything he is going to do for you and what he wants you to do to help with the healing process. I recommend him to all of my friends and anyone I hear talking about weight loss surgery!
Dr. Mailapur is by far one of the most caring & concerned doctors I have ever met!!! Im a nurse & I deal with doctors on a regular basis and I can HONESTLY say I couldn't have made a better choice for a bariatric surgeon. He's very straightforward and strict especially concerning post-op care, but you can tell it's because he wants you to get the most out of the surgery with little or no complications not just because he's \"money hungry\". He even called me the night before surgery and asked if I was feeling ok and if I had any concerns or questions. He's very professional & knowledgable about the procedure and makes sure he covers ALL aspects with you before you make your final decision. I would definitely recommend him to anyone considering WLS. :-)
I am very glad that my husband was there with me. He was able to take care of my needs faster than the nursing staff did. The nursing staff responce level was very slow.
I first personally met Dr. Mailapur at his seminar on Valentime's Day 2006. I have personally never met a doctor who cares more about what he is doing than Dr. Mailapur does (I work with doctors, so believe me, I know what I am talking about!). You could tell from the moment he walked into the room that he was there not for the money but because he truly cared about the need for weight loss surgery. rnrnI also loved how thorough he was in his description of the surgery, the risks, the benefits, the alternatives, and the recovery period. He did not try to beat around the bush at the risks, he was very straight forward. He is also very concerned about your recovery/postop/aftercare. He has a very detailed and intense program for your postop care, from the physical exercise and diet to the correct vitamins that he will make sure you take (boy does he remind you about this, LoL!).rnrnI am looking forward to my actual consult with him and having him as my surgeon. rnrnThank-you, Dr. Mailapur :)
