O.k. your not going to believe this little napoleon thinks I still want him t operate on me accrding to the investigator from the dept. of health. He was forced to send me my medical records, they fabricated stuff regarding attending groups and following a diet for a year . I'll assume this was for insurance approval. Of course no one ever asked me to attend a group or check on following a diet, I stopped seeing the nutritionist after I got a $400 bill for one session because I didn't want to pay that since everyone at the seminar was told it cost $25 per session. Of course I wouldn't let this dr. (I use the term loosely) touch my dog let alone me. I just want him to be accountable for his actions because obviosly he thinks he's above it. Oh, and he told the investigator that he cancelled my surgery because my husband was threatening with the office manager. This is not true he asked him to go by "the Book" and wanted a financial break down of out of pocket expenses. Anyone who knows the office manager knows she's no shrinking violet. What are they trying to hide over there? That their playing fast and furious with the insurance companies and peoples lives to make as much money as possible. This is my opinion but shorter men always have to prove themselves because they feel inferior but dr. g.'s ego is tall enough to make up for his lack of height. I never heard so much self promoting hype in my life. I feel very fortunate that i was spared from surgery with this second rate dr. These are my opinions based on my personal experience with this dr. and other people may have a different experience.

It sounds like you had a bad experience. I am using the same Doctor for my lap band surgery. It was suggested to me that I choose from 2 nutritionists who deal strictly with lap band candidates. I was told it would cost 250 but I could choose one that took my insurance up front. I did go to the one that was suggested by the office and she spent an hour with me and said I would be able to see her free of charge for the next 3 months. I then submitted her charge to my insurance company for reimbursement. I have to admit that their office staff leaves something to be desired, but I think that's a prerequisite for any Doctors office. I had to discuss my weight loss efforts for the last 5 years and also document them. I have liked Dr. G the several times I met with him and really didn't notice he was below average height.

Sorry you had a bad experience and wish you luck with the next Doc you choose

.

You have doctors confused. You used dr. geiss. I'm referring to dr. gabriel. I have a way better dr. now.
