I have a 10 year relationship with Dr Fox and he is brilliant. He is not only trained in bariatric surgery but there are few surgeons that have performed as many surgerys and have 20 + years of documented case studies. Do people die? Occassionally. Do keep in mind we are high risk patients. When I made my surgeon choice I went for the Dr with the most knowledge and best track record.
I believe it was unethical of your PCP to suggest that Dr Ross Fox was not qualified due to rumors. If he wants to put business his buddy's way fine. I think it was equally wrong of you to put out negative information as well.
Kudos to Dr Fox for still carrying about his thousands of patients and forsaking retirement to still follow patients like me 12 years after the fact.
Sincerely,
D Solberg
