Dr. Enochs in Raleigh

Dr. Enochs has a seminar you go to first,then you have a consult with him. He will let you know what he wants done. Usually lab work, upper GI, Ekg, Chest xray, nutrition and psych consult. He also can recommend the people you can go to. I don't think you'll be sorry if you choose him. Good luck

I recently have looked for a surgeon to do my surgery. I work at REX and I've heard good things from the nurses. From what I hear Dr. Moran is not very personable. Dr. Enochs is much more then Dr. Moran. The OR manager I work with is going to do some investigating and find out more information.

Previously, I was looking into Dr. Kenneth Mitchell Jr. in Pinehurst. However I learned that his mortality rate is 4% and that kind of freaks me out.

I plan on attending the seminar next month.

Anyone who has any thoughts specifially on Dr. Enochs, let me know!

I went to his seminar the other day and I was pretty impressed with him personally. The only thing I didn't like is the fact that he made a mortality rate of 1 in 200 sound like it was nothing. I think that's a pretty big deal. Plus, he kept quoting national averages and saying "but ours are better"..without ever saying what his were. AND I felt like he made lap band specifically sound like it was no big deal..like you were just getting shoulder surgery.

He seemed nice..I just didn't hear anything in the seminar that I hadn't heard before..and I felt like he left alot of information out.

Has anyone used Dr Enochs? How was your experience?

I've been out two years from surgery now. I recommend Dr. Enochs, highly. I had minimal pain and few if any issues. He is a competent and kind doctor.

Not only is Dr. Enochs wonderful, so is his staff....Lisa, Jan...everyone there makes you feel so welcome. They are friendly, funny, thorough. It's been a fantastic experience for me!

I did set up a consult and got a list of all the prerequisites they had prepared. You will have to see a few specialists. If you have made a definite decision, it's best to get started on the pre-requisites right away. It takes some time to get into all the specialists. I started out initially with the Duke weight center and was very disappointed, then I found Dr. Enochs and was very pleased. Just get appointments set up as quickly as possible, they have recommendations of specialists they deal with, who know the routine. Dr. Enochs has a support group that meets every month, you might want to consider attending one of their meetings. They have the information of when and where. It's held at Rex Hospital.

First post - hey everyone! I live in Cary. I've done a lot of research over the last month, and I'm pretty sure the LB is what I want done. Unfortunately, there's no way my insurance is going to cover it. However my husband is willing to help me finance this. So, my question is: What's the out-of-pocket cost for LB surgery (not counting fills)? Through all my research, I can't find it anywhere. I like what I've read about Dr. Enochs and plan to attend one of his seminars, but I'd really like to know what I'm getting myself into, dollar-wise. Has anyone out there had the LB surgery with Dr. Enochs and paid for it themselves without insurance? What's the overal cost? Does Dr. Enochs offer financing?

Any help is appreciated! :wink2:

DR ENOCHS IS THE BEST! I guarantee you will be happy! His success is unbelievable. Do a DR Enochs search on YouTube.com and see what others think of him. Also check him out on obesityhelp.com!! He trained everyone else and did med school and residency in the United States. :wink_smile: I had my LAPBAND back in January and feel terrific!

[MacBand 0]

Yes, talk to Angelica at the office. She is fantastic! They offer excellent financing for Lap Band and I know this because I used it!

hey brittany, I think he just was stating the facts point blank, it is important for everyone to be aware, that's all. Plus he gives these seminars 2x a week. Best wishes girl! Dr. Enochs is truly fabulous!

JEANBEAN (and others) It is obvious that you work for Dr. Enochs. You have posted repeatedly about him, advertising for him, which is against this forum's guidelines.

I was considering using Dr. Enochs for my lap band, but your posts actually made me reconsider. I think that a well-qualified surgeon would let his work and reputation speak for itself. I worry about why Dr. Enochs has to resort to such deceitful tactics to drum up business.

Back To Me, this isn't meant to be a thread for misrepresentation. I adore Dr. Enochs because he changed my life!!! No, I don't work for him, and yes I have lost tremendous weight from my Lap Band!! You are free to choose whomever you want but once you undergo this change in your life, you feel nothing but gratitude to the surgeon and the practice that did it to you!! That's all. Best wishes to you and feel free to choose anyone you want. It's a personal choice but just be happy with everything at the end. :thumbup: No hard feelings. But please be nice.

JEANBEAN,

Being nice and not wanting to be deceived (or letting others be deceived) are not mutually exclusive. Everyone reading these posts can click on your name and read your posts (every single on about Dr. Enochs) to decide for themselves. I simply want this to be a place where we can share information about ourselves, our weight-loss struggles and our lap-band knowledge. The experience changes when we can't trust the information other posters give us. Dr. Enochs is probably an excellent surgeon, but I think you are doing him a disservice with your posts.
