Hello everyone, I am scheduled for surgery on 4/30. This past week I had a spouse of a CRNA express concern about my choice of surgeons. It actually freaked me out a little bit. She suggested I do my 'due dilligence' and look at complication rates etc. I have done all that, in fact did it before I selected Dr. Ray. Now, it is making me a little freakie. I chose him and his office because they were a 'Center of Excellance' as certified by the American Bariatric Center. Anyway, I would be interested in hearing of anyones experiences with Dr. Ray.

Hi Carol,

Dr. Ray banded my mother and my sister each within the last few months and they can't say enough good things about him. I went to Dr Colquitt a couple of years ago and I was very impressed by him too. I wasn't able to get the band then because of insurance issues. Now the insurance issues have been resolved (hopefully) and when I went back to the office I decided to go with Dr Ray based on the great experience my mom and sister had with him. I have also done pretty extensive research on their office and I feel very good about my decision to go there. I have been a nurse for a long time and my experience has been for the most part, you can find people who have great things and others who have terrible things to say about any doctor. As for me, I'm sticking with Dr Ray.

Hope that helps!

:smile2: Becky, thank you so much for taking the time to respond! I to am a nurse, and you know how we are! I know some of it is probably pre surgey gitters. :smile: but the person that told me this kind went out on a limb to do it. however, I also know that she could not have ever really seen Dr. Ray in action.
