John Miller St. George Utah



Recommended Posts

Anyone heard of or been to Dr. John Miller or Jared Speakman of St. George Utah? I am considering getting my surgery through Dr. John Miller already checked his credentials, and did a back ground check. Came back clean, just hoping to find someone who might have had their surgery there.

Hi, Michelle;

I have NO experience or knowledge about the Dr you mentioned, but i am very familiar with St George (My mother lives there...) and I know that as a rule, they have rather exceptional medical care in that area. As I am sure you know, there is a beautiful new Regional medical Center there, and I think the reason the overall care is so good in the area is because a LOT of the population is elderly, has a lot of money, and the area has attracted good Drs.

Having said that, I will advise you to do your research CAREFULLY and THOROUGHLY. Make sure that your Surgeon has done HUNDREDS of these operations (500 would be my low threshold) and make sure you speak to several of the people who had used the surgeon you select.

I would think that there would be some good surgeons out there....I've been to the Chuck-a-Rama, and I can certify that there is no lack of potential clientele for WLS in that city! :thumbup:

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
