Dr. Atul Madan - Has anyone if he is a good dr.

[KrissyKris 1]

Dr Madan is an excellent surgeon and the only one I would let touch me. He did my surgery 10/21/11. I feel great and I am doing well. He checks on me often. He is a very caring MD. I did my research on him, and as a nurse I am very picky. He has an excellent record and a great bedside manner. He really cares about his patients and would never make a choice to jeopardize their well being. Dont believe everything you read on the internet. Especially from the LA Times. Every surgery has its mortaliity rates and this surgery is no different. There are risks. Dr Madan has literally performed thousands of this surgery and he is the best in my opinion! I recommend him absolutely.

Hi I had surgery on Dec 7th 2010 and he was my surgeon ! I believe you may be thinking of Dr George Tashjian, Yes he has a death on his record not sure what came of it! I first went to Dr T as they call him in the Covina office! My first meeting was not pleasant, He is arrogant and rude! I went home and spoke to Armando who was/ is my weight loss consultant! I told him To get me a new Dr! By the time surgery was coming they had changed me to Atul Madan i did my research and was excited to see he was my Doctor! I didn't meet him until my surgery day but I was 100% confident in him! Couldn't be happier with the outcome and I go for my first fill at the end of January!

Did anyone have trouble getting their surgery date after the insurance approval. I'm a dr madan patient and the weight loss center people are ry dragging their feet. I have been approved since august and they haven't even called me to set up my pre op. I need some direction.

I was banded by Dr. Madan in 2012 and he is a great , knowlegable Doctor, and he does care about his patients I have lost a 100 lbs and I will be getting another fill on June 4th , I go to the Costa Mesa office to get my fills and weigh in , also I like the fact that I could ncan call or text him at anytime with any concerns and he works with my schedule because my schedule is a variable schedule , he also did one of my x coworkers band so it took me 2 yrs. to decide , also if there are any concerns about what is taking so long , then you should and ask him if he can check in to it for you , but lie I said my coworker has lost a lot and so have I , I really reccomend him and yes I read up on the bad good and in between and made the decision for my self and not anyone else and I also like that he doesn't judge you , but he will help you and he is gentle , also I was only in the hospital overnight and back home the next day , so call or text him a short message if you have saw him already to ask him what is taking so long , unless you have to wait on other tings or phone calls, for this to happen and please don't forget to ask about the pre op and post op instructions as these are important to your weight loss, good luck to you.
