How to display "My Surgeon"

I notice that many members display their surgeon's name on their posts, on the left hand side, with the heading "My Surgeon." How do I get that to display instead of just "see patient profile"? Thanks!

i am on a pc. when I start to type manually Jennifer it does pop up a list of autocomplete names. my surgeon is not in the list. there are other jennifers. when I manually type perkins it keeps changing it to one that is on the list, Jennifer griffins. it will save griffins but when I try to change back to perkins I get nothing or griffins.

I figured out your specific issue....

We never had Dr. Jennifer M. Perkins listed in our database to begin with.

I've added some very basic info about her to our database and you should be able to select her as your bariatric surgeon. PM me if you have her office or personal email address so I can provide her with info on how to complete her profile.

Please add my surgeon, Dr Ryan Heider. I'm using firefox 23.0.1. I also tried in Internet Explorer 10 and had the same results. Whenver I type anything into the surgeons field, I don't get any auto-complete entries. It's just like a text box. This applies no matter what first letter that I type.

Thanks for your report. We're still trying to get down to the bottom of this issue. We should have an update rolled out in a week or so. I've added Dr. Heider as your surgeon.

Same here please. I'm using a PC, when I start to type his name I too don't get the drop down. If you could help I'd appreciate it. My Doctor: Dr. Jeffrey Monash and here is his link: http://www.drmonash.com/ Thank you in advance.

Can you do me a favor please ? I'm trying to get down to the bottom of this issue.

Can you type in just the beginning of his last name (monash) and see if that works for you ?

My surgeon isn't on the drop down either although he does have a profile under surgeons.

That seemed to work for me. Thank you.

One last question, how do I get it to show up under my picture? Thanks again!

I see it now too - Thank you and have a great week. :)

Thanks so much!

Hello,

My doctor is Dr. John J. Gonzalez at the Texas Center For Medical And Surgical Weightloss, San Antonio, Texas. I've tried and tried to enter the information into the My Surgeon block and everytime I click save the infromation disappears and it doesn't display when I post.

I've updated it for you.
