Doctors in Philadelphia

[AmyK12 0]

Hi everyone...Happy Thanksgiving!

I know there is probably a thread about this somewhere but I can't find it so I thought I would just ask.

Can anyone recommend a doctor in the Philadelphia area that does Lap Band surgery? My doctor recommended a Dr. Meiluhn at Temple University? Has anyone has any experiences with him? Do you have any other doctors to recommend? My PCP (unbelievably) did not have anyone to recommend and suggested coming on this site and asking for suggestions. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I had Dr Kirkland from Penn Hospital do mine. I love him. I was banded on 10/5/07. I have lost 30 pounds & I do not feel hungry at all. I had my 1st fill on 11/5 & my next fill is 12/6. He is awesome, there is nothing about him or his staff I do not like... I love it all!!! You can google him to see how great a doctor he is. Good luck!

My doctor was Dr. Williams at the University of Pennsylvania. It was a wonderful experience. I was banded on October 4th and have lost 30 pounds. My first fill is this coming Wednesday.

Dr. Williams is very thorough and kind and his staff is aces.

Good luck.

Hi, My doctor is Gary Korus at Penn Prebyterian. He is great. I have been completely happy with him and the program there. Good luck finding a doc. If you have any questions please feel free to PM me.
