I live in the Tampa area (recently moved up here from Miami) and I'm having my first appointment with Dr. Dietrich, associated with Advent health, in a few days... I wanted to know if anyone has had their surgery with him? Or any consultations with him?

I was also told that Dr. Mooney, associated with Tampa General Hospital, is a surgeon to look up as well.

Suggestions/stories/advice would be great!!! My nerves are kicking in big time lol ?

Hi there. I’m from the Tampa area as well. I chose Dr. Mooney from USF. I’m scheduled to attend the seminar on the 18th. Aetna referred me to Dr. Mooney.

Check out Dr. Fridley in Hudson, FL. Just north of tampa. Excellent surgeon and great office staff.

Dr Dietrick is my doctor and I just love him and his office. He was not my surgeon but took me on as a transfer patient in need of lap band fills.

That’s great. His partner Dr. Taggar did mine and he was awesome. No problems and very thorough Really nice hospital. You’re in good hands.
