I've had the surgery here in KY but my cousin wants it now and I know nothing about this surgeon. Any info would be great!

I had his partner Dr. Williams. They are both great doctors and they have a terrific team of dieticians, nurses, office staff, insurance wranglers, etc. They use an extremely strict and conservative after-surgery eating plan, which is exactly what I needed. Their practice is a bariatric Center of Excellence. The hospital they use is great -- the entire 4th floor is just for bariatric surgery patients, and all the nurses and support staff there are experts in that area. The only negative things I have to say about the practice is that (1) I think their support groups are kind of a mess and (2) they try to scare patients into buying the Vitamins they sell in-house, as if you need those vitamins or you'll die -- which I think is a total crock. I never used them and I did great. But overall I definitely recommend their practice -- both surgeons are terrific. Their leak and other complication rates are amazingly low, and the support they provide is fantastic. Lots of dedicated, on-the-ball, positive people working in the practice to help patients out with any issues that come up.

Dr. Steven Boyce did my sleeve at Turkey Creek Medical Center on 2/9/15. New Life Bariatric Center is where all my appts. w/dr. and staff were held. Wonderful experience from start to finish. Was in the hospital for about 24 hours. Great team of people -- in his office and at the hospital. Doing great -- no complications. Going back to work on Monday. He has performed over 4000 of weight loss procedures and was recognized as one of the Doctors of Note in Knoxville in 2014. Can't say enough about his exceptional care and attention to detail of this physician. No shortcuts -- great care!!
