I went to the seminar for Dr. Mitchell and although the P.A. did the presentation not Dr. Mitchell, I was not impressed with their practice. They are very "PRO" gastric Bypass and were not very supportive in my opinion of the band. They also use the "realize" band which is different than the one Dr. Enochs uses.
I have attended a support group for Dr. Enochs and after attending both, I was "extremely" more comfortable and more impressed with Dr. Enoch's practice. He is very sweet, soft spoken and caring. His staff is the same. They are all very friendly and never appear bothered by the constant questions I have.
I am scheduled for the surgery on 8/22/08. I feel very comfortable with my choice to use Dr. Enoch's practice. His next support group meeting is 8/28/08 at Rex Cancer center on 2nd floor. You can call their office for more info but everyone is welcome. Last support group (which is the only one i've been to) his P.A. Lisa and one of his nurses were there. They are sooooo sweet. He came also and walked around answering questions. It was like being with family and friends.
