Picking a Surgeon or Clinic in Minnesota

[jjsinmn1 0]

Hello, I am new to this forum. I was wondering if any of you have opinions or resources on how to pick a surgeon or clinic in Minnesota. I know that the mayo Clinic would be a good place to go to. Any other suggestions?

Thanks

I would go to Park Nicollet personally. Why? I have been an employee there for 8 years and I had my surgery 3 years ago with Dr. Thomas Jones. :-) Best decesion I have ever made.

I too would recommend Park Nicollet/Methodist Hospital. They have been nothing but professional, and are a Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence. I had Dr. Thomas Jones do my surgery. He has been with Park Nicollet since the late 80's and has done numerous bariatric procedures. He has also been voted top Doc in Mpls St. Paul just about every year in a row. His personality is delightful; not stuffy at all!

You won't regret a decision to use this team of experts!

I also highly recommend park Nicollet and Dr Jones!! They are fantastic! The program is set up very well and they make everything simple to complete. Everyone I have worked with there from schedulers to nurses to hospital staff and doctors have all been amazing! Dr Jones is a great surgeon! Rated a top doctor for general surgery for a few years now. I actually requested him when I needed my gallbladder out and he fit me into his booked schedule when I needed it moved up a few weeks. He's a very caring and competent surgeon! His WLS stats are great which he's happy to share with you. I am extremely happy with my decision to go through them!

I live 1 hour North of Park Nicollet and I still recommend it to anyone who's looking for a whole team of people who get it and are so friendly and professional. Their psychiatric help is top notch!
