kkkraemer 9 Posted July 1, 2013 There are 6 different surgeons at Southern Surgical' date=' so if you don't get along with one, try another. And they seem to each have priveliges at different hospitals, or you can go to their hospital in Slidell. Since it's a specialty hospital it wouldn't be a direct competitor of STPH like Lakeview is.I saw Dr. Moore 7 years ago when I chickened out of the lap band, and see Dr. Redmann now because he's on my new insurance and Dr. Moore isn't.[/quote'] Dr Redmann did my lap band a few years ago and he just did my sleeve 5 weeks ago I love him he is soo sweet and has a great bedside manner dr French assisted and he was great at well. Their entire staff is wonderful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kkkraemer 9 Posted July 1, 2013 Dr. Lavin will be doing my surgery in May. Not to happy With return calls from his staff though. I have been waiting 3 days now for a call back Try emailing them Danielle was my advocate and she returns emails pretty quick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Corky6984 134 Posted July 1, 2013 Dr Redmann did my lap band a few years ago and he just did my sleeve 5 weeks ago I love him he is soo sweet and has a great bedside manner dr French assisted and he was great at well. Their entire staff is wonderful. Dr. Redmann sleeved me 2 weeks ago tomorrow. I was SO glad when I had my gallbladder issue, which lead me to him and glad I switched to him to do my WLS! Started out with Ochsner, wouldn't recommend them! He does have awesome bedside manner and is very sweet! They do have an awesome staff!
