Looking for a Doctor in Ohio



Recommended Posts

The best place I found is to go to the Inamed website and register and they should send you doctor's names...or you can call their 800# and they should be able to give you the closest to your zip code.

My Dr is Dr Bipan Chand at Cleveland Clinic, Dr Philip Schauer is located at cleveland clinic as well. I have not had my surgery yet, but I know that they have been in practice for a long time.

Good Luck wherever you end up going!!

:clap2: HI. Try Dr. Ben-Meir in Cleveland. He's at St. Vincent Hospital (awarded to be a Center of Excellence in Bariatrics) and has a wonderful bedside manner. I'm playing the insurance game now, but the whole bariatric staff is MOREthan WONDERFUL! Wish me luck, and good luck to you!

Dr. Ben-Meir did my surgery at St. Vincent. I love him. He is very caring and kind. They have been doing bariatric surgeries there forever. He's been doing the band for more than 2 years. They have great follow up care and a lot of services.

I know a couple of people that have gone to the Cleveland Clinic. I believe they both had Dr. Schauer. They haven't been doing them as long, but both people I spoke to were very happy. The only difference is that he does 6 incisions instead of 5. Supposedly to be able to actually lift the liver out of the way.

I'm having my surgery at the Cleveland Clinic w/ Dr. Schauer..pending insurance approval, of course. He comes highly recommended. Before coming to the Cleveland Clinic he was the Director of Bariatric Surgery at the U of Pittsburgh. He has done hundreds of surgeries. I am from Northwest Ohio. I understand Bowling Green and Findlay both have bariatric centers but I chose to go to the Cleveland Clinic.
