I am looking for the right doctor for my surgery- there are so many to choose from, I am baffled. Has anyone had a great experience that they can share? Thank you !!!

I know this is waaaay late but in case anyone else is researching Rhode Island I had a great experience with Dr. Todd Stafford from Surgical Associates. They work out of Miriam Hospital but also Rhode Island Hospital. The bariatrics program is primarily at Miriam I believe. Dr.stafford is fantastic and my hospital stay was nothing but positive. My surgery was November 25, the day before thanksgiving. The nurses and drs were all nice and supportive, nothing but good things to say. The drs main secretary is not super organized but she was a small bump in the road and I just kept up with everything myself and didnt let that impede my progress. All 4 dra in the practice seem very good from my research. 3 of them checked on me in the 2 days i was in the hospital and at my follow ups I saw Dr. Stafford and the PA.

I say miriam. I'm scheduled for tomorrow. For the sleeve. They have been very thorough. My son had it at roger Williams. He did good but they did not do as much health testing or give as much nutrition advice as miriam. Hope it helps. Welcome ri

I say Roger Williams. Having surgery with Dr. Pohl out of there in the upcoming weeks. Had a friend who went to Dr. Bloomenthal out of Roger Williams too, she's lost 145 pounds to date and hasn't even had her one year surgiversary yet!

Miriam. The hospital is very thorough. This is what you should look for. Roger. W. Did my son and they did not take as many precautions.
