Surgery With Dr. Kelly Since Trish Has Left



Recommended Posts

Has anyone had surgery with Dr. Kelly since Trish is no longer working with him and since Omar is now his assistant? I have read so many great reviews about Trish and just wanted to know how things have changed since Omar has taken over. I am hopefully having surgery with Dr. Kelly in May.

I am also having my surgery in May with Dr Kelly. May 10th to be exact.

I would just say I don't think you should make a decision based on a coordinator as they are not the one doing the actual surgery. So I am going with Dr Kelly as he has so much experience & read so many positive reviews too.

Omar has been wonderful at getting back to me with all my questions too (and I have had many)!

I know a lot of people on here like Trish but Omar has been great.

My surgery & accommodations went PERFECT while I was there.

I am going in June to see Dr Kelly. Omar has been promt, caring and easy to get a hold of. Honestly, the coordinator has nothing to do with the skill of the surgeon (you know that). Omar left trish and Dr Ponce for a reason, and I can say he has been wonderful

I really like Omar! We text or email weekly and my sx isnt until June. But I didn't pick Dr K because of him. I picked Dr K because he calls me, he is able to communicate clearly with me and I am confident in his skill level. My choice had zero to do with a coordinator.

Most of these doctors are great, though, and with a few exceptions, I think all of them are great surgeons!!

I didn't use either trish or omar. I choose dr kelly based on my research on him. As previous posters have said, it really matters not who your coordinator is.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
