Dr Mailapur is AWESOME!!! He is so well rounded, he's more like a friend than a surgeon!!! He doesn't pull any punches & he's straight up with you but at the same time has a great bedside manner & is always willing to listen to what you have to say!!! I know a few of his patients & none of us have ever had complications, his skills are excellent!!! His office staff are great as well!! Laura played a huge part in helping me & has been behind me since day 1! The whole office atmosphere was a pleasure, I look forward to going for my follow up visits to see everyone!! I definitely recommend Dr Mailapur!!! Thank you Doc, you ROCK!!!
When I first met Dr. Suggs he was very friendly and informative. He explained everything to me and made me feel comfortable about having the surgery.
A friend highly recommended Dr. Mailapur to me for gastric bypass surgery. When I contacted Dr. Mailapur's office, Laura was very helpful in providing information about the surgery. My insurance required a 6 month weight loss program before they would even consider the surgery. After 5 months of the weight loss program, I attended Dr. Mailapur's seminar and was very impressed. Once the 6 months were up, I contacted Laura and she instructed me on the next step which involved having 3 years medical records and weight loss program sent to Dr. Mailapur's office. Dr. Mailapur's staff forwarded the information immediately to BCBS and stressed to me to be very persistent in contacting BCBS for a decision on the surgery. I was approved 2 weeks later and scheduled a consultation with Dr. Mailapur. During the consultations, Dr. Mailapur did a mental evaluation to make sure I was a candidate for the procedure and then I met with his nutritionist Claudia. I had to go on a high protein liquid diet 2 weeks prior to surgery so my liver would shrink. Surgery was scheduled for June 21st and I was released from the hospital on June 24th. Dr. Mailapur keeps all of his patience in the hospital 3 nights to make sure there are no complications. I would highly recommend Dr. Mailapur. He is a family man who is very personable and caring with excellent bedside manners. Dr. Mailapur and his staff were excellent throughout the entire process. They answered all my questions and returned my calls immediately. It has been 1 1/2 months since surgery and I have already lost 40 pounds since my pre-op appointment, from a size 24 to a size 16/18. I am feeling great!
My first impression of Dr. Mailapur was WOW he is very knowlegable,and compassionate is he for real. And as time went on I found out he is. I had surgery on 6/12/2006 and I feel great. He emphasize's the \"Tool\" that I have been given and the importance of after care and adhering to the diet and vitamin schedule. Claudia the dietician is also helpful all in all a very good program.
Dr. Mailapur is a wonderful surgeon. He is very caring towards his patients. Anytime you call him, he is always willing to talk and answer any questions that you have. I would recommend him to anyone that is considering having this surgery.

'Dr. Mailapur is an awesome surgeon. He comes across as very caring. I was so impressed with him from the time I first met him. In the past whenever I would think about having WLS
Dr. Suggs is a life saver. He made me feel very comfortable about the whole event that changed my life for the best. His office staff was there for me when I needed information or just an ear to bend. He is up front about the problems that could accure. The monthly meetings he holds are a great way that he informs the public.
