Dr. Robert O. Powell - Dallas/Richardson

He called me and I am giving him a chance to fix the problem now that I have personally talked to him.

Confusion over my port replacement. I was told I would be having a surgery under local simply to replacement my port. Now they wanted to do exploratory surgery under general. Nobody informed me of the change. I am very displeased with his office staff. I pray we can get things straightend out, he is a great surgeon, but his office is falling apart.

I am so glad to hear you are getting things worked out. Let us know how things go! I found out today that I have an appointment with Dr. David Provost on January 4th. I'm so excited!!!!!!!!!!

I still have a lot of respect for Dr. Powell. I would recommend him to anyone. We got our misunderstandings worked out and all is well.

It's been a long time since I've been back on the board.

Dr. Powell is no longer practicing at SCOR. They have handed out his patients to the remaining doctors. From what I have been told, he is no longer in his same office.

The last conversation I had with him was NOT a good one. I had another after this post and he lost me and my husband during that time.

I work in the medical field. You can't base your practice on $$ and be successful for long. In the end that's all it was about was $$.

I'm doing okay. My epigastric pain has returned. I have a new doctor that is supposed to scope me at the end of the month. The ladies at SCOR have been awesome. I'm just happy that my husband and I have a chance to have a doctor. We've been without medical care for about 5 months now.

Anyone else getting a new doc?

Thanks for the heads up on Dr. Powell:eek:. I was considering using him as my lapband surgeon. Now that I know he doesnt have a good reputation then Ill find someone else. Keep your head up, youll find a good surgeon. Wish you all the best!!!
